How To Hide Wifi Password In Windows 7
It requires admin privileges to check the 'show characters' box, and then nobody else can encounter information technology, anyhow. Are you trying to hide the password from people with admin rights?

The account I had tried probably had admin rights, so I'll take to exam it once again.

Agreed. It has the little shield adjacent to it. As long as it'south a limited user, yous should be okay.

Every bit people are saying above, it requires elevation to be able to cheque the box that allows people to reveal the password for a wireless network.

Paul,
We had the same issue at our school district and i establish this from a microsoft forum. It worked for us.

"The mode is to find the fundamental in the registry where you can unlock the viewing of the WIFI Key.
For that, you have to find a Central where the value is "CElevateWlanUi"
In my case, it was in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Appid\{86F80216-5DD6-4F43-953B-35EF40A35AEE}.
Nether this key you have iii values :
•The start i (default) with the value "CElevateWlanUi"
•The second one AccessPermission of blazon Reg_Binary with a binary value (does'nt matter to empathise what it ways)
•The third one is called DllSurrogate with a nix value.
The way I solved the problem is to setup the authorizations of the main Fundamental {86F80216-5DD6-4F43-953B-35EF40A35AEE} by a right-click, and so "autorizations".
After you lot have to take possession of this fundamental.
I setup the owner as our domain administrator.
For that click on the the button "Advanced" then on the tab "owner" and replace TrustedInstaller by the administrator of my domain.
And so, I came back to the main console of authorizations of the master key.
I deleted the entry LAP505\administrators and the entry LAP505\domain users, and added the entry for my domain administrator with all rights. (LAP505 is the estimator name)
I practical all the modifications.
I repeated the operation for the second occurence of the cardinal :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\classid\Appid\{86F80216-5DD6-4F43-953B-35EF40A35AEE}
And when I logged on with a user with local admin privileges, I could connect to WIFI network, I could admission to the network centre but I could'nt unmark the "Hide caracters". Information technology works!"

Assuming that all the wireless devices are the property of the visitor, that solution would piece of work.
For many of us that is not the case. For example, many of our employees & contractors demand access to the net on their own computers, or when children's friends come over to the house and require net on their notebook for studying purposes.
(scenario) later on studying that friend goes home where his blood brother finds the password to your wireless network, and downloads illegal moving-picture show and software...)
Would Microsoft cease up suing Microsoft for non fixing a known security issue (calling it "past design") that allowed someone to download pirate copies of Windows 7?
It was always possible for anyone to find out on their computer what the key is, (locks are for honest people) but it took time and effort (all a lock does is keep an honest person honest) Window 7 just made it easy to be dishonest!...
