NoteHKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Network Connections
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | (Not in registry) | 0 | 1 | (Not in registry) |
Specifies which users can delete shared dial-up connections. Shared connections are available to all users of the computer. By default, only Administrators can delete shared dial-up connections.
This entry stores the setting of the Enable deletion of RAS connections available to all users Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Not in registry) | The policy is not configured. Only Administrators can delete shared dial-up connections. |
| 0 | The policy is disabled. No users (including administrators) can delete shared dial-up connections. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. All users can delete shared dial-up connections. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Enable deletion of RAS connections available to all users policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network and Dial-up Connections).
Note
When the value of NC_DeleteConnection is 0, it takes precedence over NC_DeleteAllUserConnection. Users cannot delete any RAS connections and the NC_DeleteAllUserConnection entry is ignored.
This entry does not affect LAN connections. LAN connections are created and deleted automatically by the system when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use Network and Dial-up Connections to create or delete a local area connection.
Tip
To create a shared RAS connection, on the Connection Availability page in the Network Connections wizard, click For all users.
