From this thread : Wi-Fi SSID detail

I don't know if this code works over english machines or not, because, i just tried it until now, on my french machine. so, just give a try and tell me the results :

@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion & color 0A
Title %~n0 to get SSID With details

Set TmpLogFile=%tmp%\TmpLog.txt
If Exist %TmpLogFile% Del %TmpLogFile%
REM  --> Check for permissions
Reg query "HKU\S-1-5-19\Environment" >%TmpLogFile% 2>&1
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
Echo.
ECHO                      ****************************************
ECHO                      ^| Running Admin shell... Please wait...^|
ECHO                      ****************************************

    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    set params = %*:"=""
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~s0"" %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

Here is an quick example which should output a file providing each GUID and Description alongside your running script.

@Echo Off
SetLocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
(Set k=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles)
For /F "Delims==" %%A In ('Set GUID[ 2^>Nul') Do Set "%%A="
Set "i=101"
For /F "EOL=E Tokens=1,2*" %%A In ('Reg Query "%k%" /S /V Description') Do (
    If "%%~nB" NEq "%%~B" (Call Set "GUID[%%i:*1=%%]=%%~nB") Else (
        Call Call Set GUID[%%i:*1=%%]="%%%%GUID[%%i:*1=%%]%%%%","%%C"
        Set/A i+=1))
If %i% NEq 101 (>"%~dp0NetProfs.log" 2>Nul Set GUID[)
EndLocal
Exit/B

You will probably need to right-click and run as Administrator due to resrictions on those keys.
