How do you configure exclusive AP targeting???

I want the client PC to exclusively lock onto one targeted Wireless Router
and not randomly pick some other wireless router that happens to have a
stronger signal.

How can you setup a USB adapter to exclusively target one Wireless
AP/Router. The client uses Windows XP with SP2????

I don't have access to my wireless computer at the moment, but there's a
setting in the wireless properties (assumes that Windows in managing the
wireless connection) that will prevent the computer from connecting to
non-prefered networks. Check in the advanced settings in the wireless
properties of the network connection.
