| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Determines whether users can change the properties of components used by a local area connection.
This entry stores the setting of the Enable access to properties of components of a LAN connection 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.The Properties button is disabled. |
| 1 (or not in registry) | The policy is enabled or not configured. The Properties button is enabled. |
The Properties button opens the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, which includes a list of the network components that the connection uses. To view or change the properties of a component, click the name of the component, and then click the Properties button beneath the component list.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Enable access to properties of components of a LAN connection policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network and Dial-up Connections).
Note
Not all network components have configurable properties. For components that are not configurable, the Properties button is always disabled.
