Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to disable or remove WINS as
the code that handles WINS is shared with that which handles DNS.

Is there something specific that bothers you about the WINS broadcasts? If
so, then maybe we can either address that issue or if there is no
workaround, consider changing the OS for a future release.
