Dave,

Are you averse to a non-Microsoft approach?  I ask because depending
on the make/model of your laptop and/or wireless card, there may be
other options.  For example, ThinkPads come with the Access Connection
Manager - an applet that controls a great many detailed configuration
settings pertaining to both wired & wireless connections.
Specifically, there's an option to only allow Administrators to change
settings.  Once a connection profile is setup, end users will only be
offered those predefined sites and no others!  Of course, if the users
are local admin ... yada yada yada :-)  I believe the Intel ProSet
software package also includes similar functionality.  There may be
others, but these 2 are ones I've used before.  Each one also has the
ability to import/export the connection profiles, as to facilitate
larger rollouts.

Thanks,
Wilson

 Have I missed something in the "new" XPSP2 wireless configuration stuff. As
far as I can see you can't prevent users connecting to non-preferred
networks, even with Policy lockdown. Even if you hide the networks page on
the adaptor, when the user is in a location where this no network, the
connection wizard still pops up. Any one any solution to this?
