netsh

We have a company mandate to hide certain windows functions. I'm working on a company application which will allow my users to configure WiFi networks. The app is scanning broadcasted networks using: "netsh wlan show networks" it will return networks that have been turned off.

For example: I will run the command and then unplug my wireless router with the SSID "Netgear". For several minutes after turning off the network, the show networks command will continue to return "Netgear".

Does anyone know where this gets cached, how to clear it out, or how to force a fresh scan of "netsh wlan show networks"?

Thanks all, J
