Prevent adding up of Internet connections in Internet Explorer.

This setting prevents you to make changes in Internet access connection settings in the “Connections” tab of Internet Options dialog in Internet Explorer.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

As the name suggests, the “Connections” tab in Internet Options dialog on the tools menu of Internet Explorer is used to configure the dial-up or virtual private network connection settings, to access Internet.

With this registry setting you can disable the options to manage Internet connection settings.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the sub keys “Internet Explorer\Control Panel” is not present, create it as explained below. Then, create a DWORD value “Connection Settings”, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which can disable the options to manage Internet connection settings. However, if you want to enable the options back, change the value data to “0” or delete the value.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
