This only applies to Win 9x systems. There isn't an equivalent for XP
systems.

I have been hunting for a way to limit our user's access to change Computer
Names/Domains. In our organization every user has Administrator
priviledges
on their localized machine, which is required for our business, but we
would
like to limit their ability to remove themselves from the domain or change
the computer name.

I found information on the Web stating that creating the Registry Key
below
will prevent the Network ID Page from being displayed, but it does not
function as stated when applied to a Windows XP Professional Service Pack
2.
I've rebooted a few times and I still have access to the Network ID Page.

Below is the registry key I found out on the web, but everywhere I have
seen
seems to imply that this is applicable on older Windows versions and
doesn't
state if there is an equivalent for XP SP2.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network
"NoNetSetupIDPage"=dword:00000001"

Can anyone offer any assistance?
