preferring a faster local network connection in XP



I have this problem where Windows prefers to use the wireless network
I'm connected to, even if I've got my 10/100 network cable plugged in.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad the wireless works. However I do not
want to use an access point that is shared with other users (and quite
possibly saturated with regard to throughput) when I've got a 100Mbps
wired connection.

Is there any way that you guys know of to make Windows prefer using
the faster of its available connections? I supposed that if I was on a
Gigabit link, with my 54Mbps wireless link concurrently, it would
still choose the wireless, which is wrong on so many levels.

Any thoughts?
