The registry key path to a Windows computer’s network profiles (wired and wireless):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

The DWORD Category value sets type of connection:

0 = **Public** (sharing disabled)
1 = **Private** (home, sharing enabled)
2 = **Domain** (AD, sharing enabled)

The Domain connection type also needs the DWORD Managed value set to 1 and the the DWORD NameType set to 6.
