Disable/enable property for LAN connection, in Network and Dial-up Connections, for limited account is gray (dim). How do I enable it for limited account?

If you got 2000 Pro or XP Pro you can run the following

c:\winnt\system32\secpol.msc (edit as system requires)

Go to local policies and User rights assignment.

This is where you can edit a lot of permissions for your PC.

Use the help to try and find the variable you need, and add the user to the properties.

Sorry I haven't got time to look into that in more details, if your willing to experiment try giving the user permissions on "Modify Firmware Enviroment values", although I haven't tested that theory.

Good luck, sorry i couldn't provide more help.

For XP Home: A limited user account cannot change system settings. In order to enable or disable the connection you will need to be logged on as an Administrator.
