Disabling Wireless connection without local admin rights
Hi Everyone,
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.
Thanks...

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