I have tried this method of clearing out all of the mystery networks and it is effective until I reboot, when that pesky "unidentified network" shows up again along with my new network and consequently .......no internet connection until I open up the network center.....view the status of the unidentified network.....diagnose......and then reset the network adapter...at which time I end up with only one network and "PRESTO" I can access the internet.....until the next time I reboot or sometimes just logging off will reset the process.

I believe there is no way for your wireless card not to detect all broadcasted signals. 
 If the other connections affects your own, I suggest you do the following:

1. Under Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center, Click Connect To
2. Right Click On Your Connection
3. Go To Connection Tab
4. Uncheck "Connect To A More Preferred Network If Available"
5. Make Sure That "Connect Automatically When This Network Is In Range" Is Checked.

You Then Rather Would Want To Right Click On The Other Broadcasted Signals And Uncheck 
"Connect Automatically When This Network Is In Range"
