I suspect that the settings are maintained in the registry and, if so, they
cannot be protected from change. You will have to find the application that
is making the change and see if there is an option to turn it off. Also, if
you haven't done so recently, you might want to run a full scan with
up-to-date copies of anti virus and spyware programs.

Whether there are 7 ways to get to this setting does not seem overly
relevant here, but my concern is with Internet ExplorerToolsInternet
OptionsConnectionsNever dial.../Dial whenever..../Always Dial....

My goal is to make this read only/unchangeable once i have set it to
"Always
dial my default connection".

The reason is that "some thing or things" keeps changing this setting from
Always dial to Never dial.

Does anyone know what physical file these settings are stored in?

Question: How do I make the Internet options dial setting a read-only
situation?


Thanks,

FACE
