Find MAC add's through windows OS - unohex - 12-25-2013

Hello guys ! So... Basically this is my first ever made here tutorial, which won't be the last hopefully.
In this one I shall explain how you can easily find MAC Addresses or... (BSSID) of any AP's-(Access points) around you using wifi connection.
Now,I found that quite a while ago & this is working for Windows7/XP. At least as far as I know. But I have no tried it yet on Linux.
Shall we start?! It is just a few clicks away ^ _ ^

#########################################

Step 1) Open up "Network and Sharing Center" like so..

Step 2) Choose the network adapter you're currently working with, right click on it, and choose the "Diagnose" Option to continue with.
Then you shall see a new window has opened like so...

-Now open the " View Detailed Information" option.

Step 3) Once you've done step 2 , you will have another window open Which provides you few options, as in :

-Now what you need to do is open the "Detection Details".

Step 4) & the final one.
You got the "Detection Details" window open, and then you scroll down to see the results.
Example:

And just to make it a bit more clear, since the other window is quite small, I've copy pasted this to notepad.
Like so:

So, That is how you can easily step by step find MAC Addresses of any Access Point within the range of your router\adapter etc.
