We have a test environment where many virtual network cards is added.

Does anyone now how to remove them using AutoIT and can give a script example ?

For example remove all network Cards beginning with "Virtual".

Sorry I haven't any virtual nic. I would try following by using 'regshot.exe' (freeware):

1. Make a first snapshot of registry

2. Delete a virtual nic manually

3. Make a second snapshot of registry

4. Compare the snapshots and find out the signifiance regkeys

5. Have a look at AutoIt helpfile

- RegEnumKey ()

- RegEnumVal ()

- RegDelete ()

- StringInStr ()

Hope this can help a little bit.

Tried all your suggestions, but going via registry for network cards is very complex, I remove other devices that way, but network card is too hard to solve.

Devcon works fine to list the adapters, but if they are not connected they are hidden, and with devcon, can unfortunatelly not remove hidden devices. Devcon is available in source code if you buy MS DDK.

devsh, no doesn't work.

Via registry it's possible but you have to spend 2-3 hours intensive work.

devsh, no doesn't work

Is it a reading or writing mistake?

We connect mobile telephones, and they add network cards.

The problem is that if too many are added, the registry gets too big and Windows won't start, therefore I clean the registry from resources added by the mobile phones, all resources but Network cards are easy to remove, Network Cards in the registry is very complex.
