Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 1

Location: User Configuration\Network\Network Connections\


Description:
Determines whether users can view and change the properties of their private remote access connections.

Private connections are those that are available only to one user. To create a private connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the "Only for myself" option.

This setting determines whether the Properties menu item is enabled, and thus, whether the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box for a private connection 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, and no users (including administrators) can open the Remote Access Connection Properties dialog box for a private connection.

Important

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, a Properties menu item appears when any user right-clicks the icon representing a private remote access connection. Also, when any user selects the connection, Properties appears on the File menu.
