Prevent users from tampering with wireless config

I've got about 60 laptops with internal wireless, 10 access points in

10 different locations (several miles apart) all access points are configured exactly the same (same ssid, wep, channel) so that only 1 wireless profile is necessary on the laptops (the laptops roam throughout the different locations)

I would like to prevent the users from changing the order of preferred networks and/or block them from making any changes to the wireless configuration in any way. I would prefer that the only network that they could connect to is my network.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Thanks Dale

Encase all the laptops in solid plastic.

On my works XP Pro machine; the control panel icons are disabled so I can't acces the NIC component, among others. Are you using XP Pro?

Check Administrator rights/functions, I guess...

Do some investigating into Policy Editor, may be able to do what you want.

If they don't have admin rights to the laptop they should not be able to change network settings.
