Start > Settings > Network Connections > right click Wireless Network
Connection icon > Properties. When you click on the Wireless Network tab,
you can basically remove any available preferred networks with Users
credentials. I'd like to know if there's a way to prevent Users group to
change anything within that window. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Off hand I don't know of a way to do directly what you want. Two things that
may help are to use Group Policy to configure wireless settings if you have
a Windows 2003 domain controller. The other is to use Group Policy
restrictions to restrict a users access to various networking tasks as found
under user configuration/administrative templates/network/network
connections. You can test those Group Policy restrictions on a local
computer by editing local Group Policy with gpedit.msc. --- Steve
