I'd like to be able to configure Windows laptops so that the wireless
interface is switched on only when there is no ethernet connection.
Whilst Windows has the ability to switch network interfaces on and
off purely by software and has "media sense" to detect if a network
cable is connected there appears to be no obvious way to have the latter
control the former.

With UNIX-based systems this sort of thing would be fairly easy, but since Windows is
Windows I wouldn't even know where to start.

Agreed. But Freedom® and propriety have nothing to do with it.
Have you tried one of the many LolForumz where Windows users ask each other this sort of question?
Google, maybe?
