I was searching for the wireless connection specific settings.

Partly you can manage them through the settings bar at the right in your Metro interface. Right clicking the specific connection will get you to the properties of the connection.

But for example there you can not change the setting if this profile is available to all users or only the current user. This results in a wireless connection before even logging on. This might me ideal but might cause some security issues in specific situations.

This you can manage in de Manage Wireless Networks. But this is nowhere to be found. In Windows 7 it is found in the “Network and Sharing Center” now it’s not.

But due to the post on this blog: http://setspn.blogspot.com/2011/10/win-8-client-dev-preview-manage.html

I was able to create a shortcut with the target:

explorer.exe shell:::{1fa9085f-25a2-489b-85d4-86326eedcd87}

This will take you to the Manage Wireless Networks and there you can manage your Wireless profiles and there you can also change the “Wireless Network Profile Type”. Default Windows only creates “All-user profiles only”.
