Default wirless connection loss because of too many networks

My connection keeps dropping because windows is finding
about 5 wireless networks in my neighborhood. Is there
any way to make windows only connect to mine?

With the Wireless Zero Configuration service enabled:

1. Right click your wireless network connection.
2. Click "View Available Wireless Networks".
3. Click Advanced.
4. Remove all but your network from the list of preferred networks.
5. Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the window.
6. Un-check "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks".
