Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
Check each subdirectory here, looking at the ProfileName and Description to help you find the right one.  Change CATEGORY to:
0 = Public
1 = Private
2 = Domain

After changing the value, you may have to restart the Network Location Awareness service, or reboot the computer, to apply the new setting.
