I don't suppose the laptops (I'm assuming it's laptops - not too often we see wireless desktops) have a hardware switch or function-key combo that will enable/disable the wireless adapter? &nbsp;I haven't met any current lappy's that don't have a way of turning it on/off with a switch or control+funtion key or the like (ie: so non-admins can disable it when they jump on a plane)...

Hi,<br />
I have figured a soloution. You can give them rights to disable/enable wireless via Group Policy settings.<br />
Allow users to disable/enable LAN Connection to Enable.

Hi Everyone,<br />
I was wondering if there is a way for a user to enable and disable the wireless connection without local admin rights. I heard there is a registry key you can modify. anyone have any idea? the computer is running windows xp.<br />
<br />
Thanks...

Disabling Wireless connection without local admin rights

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
