NoteHKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Network Connections
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Determines whether users can delete their private dial-up (RAS) connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user.
This entry stores the setting of the Enable deletion of RAS connections 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 and the system behaves as though the value is 1.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The policy is disabled. Users cannot delete any RAS connections. This value also disables the Delete option on the context menu for a RAS connection and on the File menu in Network and Dial-up Connections. |
| 1 (or not in registry) | The policy is enabled or not configured. Users can delete their private RAS connections and administrators can delete connections available to all users. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Enable deletion of RAS connections policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network and Dial-up Connections).
Note
When the value of this entry is 0, it takes precedence over the Enable deletion of RAS connections available to all users policy (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 when a LAN adapter is installed or removed.
Tip
To create a private connection, on the Connection Availability page in the Network Connections wizard, click the Only for myself option.
