What is your goal here, besides removing the tunnel adapters?

That truly is my only goal. I don't know if I need them, i haven't seen them do anything other then clog up my ipconfig and make that a pain in the bum.
If you're not using ipv6 this will do it: netsh interface ipv6 uninstall
Just put that in your command prompt.
But in a few years when IP addresses run out ipv6 will be the new norm.

I tried that and this is what I get
C:\Users\aaron>netsh interface ipv6 uninstall
The following command was not found: interface ipv6 uninstall.
C:\Users\aaron>
Appears I am missing a command, a ? didn't help much.
Should I even worry about it?

you'd get there by going to your command prompt and typing regedit...them browsing through that path to the disabled components key...change it to 255 if you want to turn it off...#1 looks like it will solve your issue too.

Thank you!
My system had no such value and in order to create I knew from the list above the registry value type. Since not everyone will, DisabledComponents should be a reg value of DWORD type. And the values listed above are in BASE Decimal.
