Control panel disabling still let them "View Available Networks" and changing it to Ad Hoc would only let me disallow networks if I knew the SSID. The best solution I've came up with so far is to connect the pc to the wireless network that I want it on, then I added a computer startup script that has "net stop "Wireless Zero Configuration"" in it. Let's them stay connected to the network I specified, but if they try "View Available Networks" it just tells them they need to start the service, and they need to be an admin to do that.

Does anyone know how to use XP's built in wireless manager, yet make it so normal users can only connect to one SSID? Or to setup the SSID that you want then disable the interface so that no one can switch to another wireless network?
