Windows Adapter Information

Sometimes we are trying to find out the registry key that represent a network adapter,
For example. in my computer i have two identical network adapters from Realtek model RTL8168C/8111C, I have connected both of them to the same switch and configured one for network access and the other as a SPAN port for packet capturing.
When i starts WireShark i can't tell which one is the LAN and which one is the SPAN?!
Of course i can access the registry and start looking for the regkey settings but a simple and much more convenient way will be to use AdapterWatch utility from NirSoft site.

So here is the link: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/awatch.zip
