Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection
Determines whether users can enable/disable LAN connections.
If you enable this setting, the Enable and Disable options for LAN connections are available to users (including nonadministrators). Users can enable/disable a LAN connection by double-clicking the icon representing the connection, by right-clicking it, or by using the File menu.
If you disable this setting (and enable the 'Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators' setting), double-clicking the icon has no effect, and the Enable and Disable menu items are disabled for all users (including administrators).
Important: If the 'Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators' is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
If you do not configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can enable/disable LAN connections.
Note: Administrators can still enable/disable LAN connections from Device Manager when this setting is disabled.

Technical Mechanism:
