Manage stored wireless networks in W8

Microsoft, in all their wisdom, have removed the Manage my wireless network option that was available on the wireles interface in Windows 7 and earlier. So, how to we manage it now?

See stored wireless profiles

/> netsh wlan show profiles

Delete a profile

/> nets wlan delete profile name=mynetwork

To show saved information, including key

/> netsh wlan show profiles name=mynetwork key=clear

 

Or to use the gui-way

Charms>PC Settings>Networks>Connections>WiFi>Manage known networks

But only thing you can do from here is see the name and forget the network, so learn the cli way.
