Prioritize your wifi connections in Windows 8

Microsoft still refuses us to gives us a GUI to do something as simple as prioritizing what WiFi connections you want prioritized. However, it's easy enough to do.

1)Open command prompt and type: "netsh wlan show profiles"

2)Type the following filling in the parameters with the information displayed on the previous output:
netsh wlan set profileorder name="name of wifi you want to prioritize" interface="name of the wifi interface which you can find on the previous output" priority=1 

obviously replace 1 by whatever priority you want to give that wifi connection.
