Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1

Location: User Configuration\Network\Network Connections\


Description:
Determines whether users can change the properties of a LAN connection.

This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box is available to users.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Properties menu items are disabled for all users, and users cannot open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.

Important

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when users right-click the icon representing a LAN connection. Also, when users select the connection, Properties is enabled on the File menu.
