I have not tried that myself but a couple things I would look at is using local
Group Policy via gpedit.msc and look at the possibilities under user
configuration/administrative templates/network/network connections with the
understanding that local Group Policy affects all users that logon to the
computer that have read access to the Windows\system32\group policy\user folder
which by default all users will. If that won't work for non domain computers
look at using the free Microsoft Shared Computer Tookit to lockdown certain user
accounts. Also to try and track down what files and registry keys are accessed
in such an operation use the free tools from SysInternals called filemon and
regmon as they log all file and registry activity.

Domain = Windows 2K
Clients = Windows XP SP2
We are just about to introduce Wireless networking (802.11a) in our
organisation and I want to prevent "normal" users from running the
Wireless Network Setup Wizard on school notebooks. This is a facility
that only administrators should run
Usually if I just want to prevent access to a feature of Windows
(XP/SP2 clients) I run xcacls and give "students" "no rights" to the
appropriate executable or file. I also use Windows Policies to great
effect but some of the usage will involve "standalone" logins - not
authenticated against the domain.
However I can't seem to find the executable to block. Can anyone
enlighten me?
And in answer to the expected questions, yes we will be using other
forms of security on the WLAN. I just don't want students mucking
around with stuff on school notebooks
Thanks
Peter
