I'm completely new to programming, so here we go...

The general idea of what I’m trying to do is manage network settings for multiple locations.
So when I bounce from place to place, I select where I’m at, hit OK, and bam! My network settings change.

1) Basically, I want a combo box to display any network devices, on any PC.

2) As of now, the only place I know to retrieve this information is in the registry,
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards\##\”, Description = Network Device.
## = is a number that changes from PC to PC(i believe).

Please advise. :)

you don't need to build what Microsoft already did for you :)

try to use something called performance counter (you find it in your toolbox) , try googling or experimenting :)
if you didn't get lucky to know how to use it, let me know , i am planning to add a tutorial about it.
