No "Wireless Networks" tab in "Wireless Network Connections Properties"?

When you open your "Wireless Network Connection Properties" you can not find "Wireless Networks" tab. When Viewing Available Wireless Networks Windows tells you that you need to start "Wireless Zero Configuration" (WZC) service .
But when you try to do that you get an error:
Could not start the Wireless Zero Configuration service on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

To solve this problem you need to modify registry.
Start->Run->type "Regedit" and hit Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ndisuio
then right click on "Start" DWORD in the right window and choose Modify. Change "Data Value" to 1, 2 or 3.
Restart your computer and check if you can start WZC service and configure your wireless connection.
