1.) Open cmd.exe
2.) netsh wlan show profiles
The wifi profile names will be shown in the current priority order under the section "User profiles". Its important to note, that the section starts with "Profiles on interface INTERFACE", where INTERFACE is the interfacename. If you got multiple wifi interfaces, that section will reoccur with its own "User profiles" and priority list.
3.) To change the priority of one network, enter:
netsh wlan set profileorder name="WIFIPROFILE" interface="I" priority=NUMBER
You need to give the correct wifi name as WIFIPROFILE, the interface which uses said profile as I and the NUMBER for the priority, with 1 being the highest, i.e. should be used prefered. You can also define priorities lesser than 1.

[Win7+] Software Accesspoint
Sometimes you just need to give wireless access to one of your little toys (i.e. Tablets, Smartphones, Raspberry Pis with Wifi - you name it) - but you got no wifi accesspoint with you. Starting with Windows 7, this ain't a problem anymore. You can setup an software ap in just a minute:
Enter following code into your command line interface to start an software accesspoint with the SSID WiBridge and the password mh28-dyi9-txwt:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="WiBridge" key="mh28-dyi9-txwt" keyUsage=persistent
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
You can check upon your ap via:
netsh wlan show hostednetwork
And you can stop it with:
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
