visited WAP stored in registry/cache?

I was wondering if your visited WAPs are recorded and saved anywhere on your computer whether in your registry or in an internet cache or something. I tried checking out a few spots on the web, but nothing turned up.

Thanks

The answer is yes, you know this because if you look in the list of preferred networks, you'll see them.

Furthermore, XP starts up and probes for those that it has visited which makes for a nice opportunity for a nearby hacker running hotspotter to run as a rogue AP and give you a connection and thus an attack vector.

Nice feature eh?

David.
