I am trying to figure out when and how network connection icons are created
while a network device driver is installed. I see that this is directly
related to the keys in the registry at
HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{}, but what cases them to be created?
The reason why I am interested is because I have a MUX IM based driver that
keeps creating new entries upon installation and de-installation and I would
like that to stop.

I think that the class installer for Net class - which is joined with NCPA
to INETCFGX.DLL - creates these icons for each network adapter which did not
disabled this icon.

Thanks,
Now, does anyone know why it keeps incrementing the number? Like it starts
with "Local Area Connection", then it is "Local Area Connection 1", etc. Is
there any way to specify the name of the connection icon and not have the
number?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
