Prevents users from running Network and Dial-up Connections.
This entry stores the setting of the Remove Network and Dial-up Connections from Start Menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable theRemove Network and Dial-up Connections from Start Menu policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | Network and Dial-up Connections runs. |
| 1 | Network and Dial-up Connections does not run. |
A value of 1 prevents the Network and Dial-up Connections folder from opening and removes Network and Dial-up Connections from the Settings menu on the Start menu. Network and Dial-up Connections still appears in Control Panel and in Windows Explorer, but if a user tries to start it, a message appears explaining that a policy prevents the action.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Remove Network and Dial-up Connections from Start Menu policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Start Menu & Taskbar).
