Windows 7 connect to ethernet over wifi

This one was driving me crazy.  My laptop would always use the wireless even when it had a valid and much faster ethernet connection.  After digging around on the internet I found the solution.  Open the Network and Sharing Center.  On the left hand side click Change adapter settings.  Now click the "Alt" key to bring up the hidden menu.  ON the menu click Advanced -> Advanced Settings.  In the top box under Adapters and Bindings select the wired connection (probably labeled Local Area Connection) and use the arrow key to move it to the top.  Click Ok and you are set.  This really shouldn't be this hard to find.
