   Inspect each GUID folder for your respective network name   
   Modify the ProfileName string value   
   Close the registry editor   
   Restart the device

   profiles(including some with same description and profile name   
     - Caution: Unless you know what you are doing, best not the delete any   
   suspected orphans until absolutely certain doing so is safe and without   
   impact.
