Available Network refresh leaves old networksWhen I click view available wireless networks on my laptop the "refreshed"
list shows wireless networks that I know are no longer available. For instance, wireless networks I used in Sacramento CA still show even though I refresh the list when I'm in Florida. How can I clean up this list? Thanks, Craig you should be able to remove them from the list. if you are using
Vista, go into the Network and Sharing Center, then Manage Wireless Networks.

In most cases the Wireless sources (SSID) that are used, logged on by mistake, or their signal was so strong that it attract the connection, end up as an entry on what is referred to as the "Preferred List". In Vista follow Barb suggestion above, http://www.ezlan.net/vista/vista_wlist.jpg WinXP looks like this, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless/wzc3.jpg It is a good idea to perform a frequent cleanup of the preferred list keeping only the Wireless SSID that are frequently used.
