I am using win7 and I am talking about WPA2-PSK wireless network.

Thanks
Open the network and sharing center, select "Manage Wireless Networks", then right click your connection and select "Properties", then the "Security" tab, and then make sure the check box "Show Characters" isn't selected. Repeat that for your other connections.
Hi rindi,

Yes I already did but anyone can select the (Show Characters) to see the key.

Thanks
Not if they are standard users without admin rights. If such a user tries to put a check mark in the box, he's asked to enter an administrator's user name and his password.
Hi rindi,

How can I do this because I don't have a domian controller or policy group I don't have a server and some laptops are belong to user not our property.

Thanks
