Assuming they're using WinXP Pro, in gpedit.msc, go to Local Computer Policy/User Configuration/Network/Netw<wbr />ork Connections, and set &quot;Prohibit access to the New Connection Wizard&quot; to &quot;Enabled&quot;. &nbsp;<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
OH, you want a registry hook; I should mention that the corresponding registry entry is:<br />
<br />
KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software<wbr />\Policies\<wbr />Microsoft\<wbr />Windows\Ne<wbr />twork Connections <br />
DWORD: NC_NewConnectionWizard = 0 <br />

</div>


<div>
(And of course you'd set it to &quot;1&quot; to ENABLE the prohibition, that is to PREVENT users from adding new network connections.)
</div>


<div>
Thanks for your replies.<br />
Is there a way to &quot;Prohibit access to the New Connection Wizard&quot; to a user with administrataor privileges? 
</div>


<div>
As far as I am aware, if the user has administrator privileges, you cannot block their access to the New Connection Wizard. &nbsp;I'd be interested to hear if you find a way to do that (other than deleting from their system some critical system file that the New Connection Wizard needs in order to function, which seems a little ham-handed to me.)<br />

</div>


<div>
Even if I cant totally prevent an administrator from accesing the wizard, maybe there is a way to make it difficult for someone who is not an expert.<br />
Any ideas ? <br />
I am pritty experienced in hooking api's but in this case I dont know what to look for.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
