I've had a squint at this and think I would be opening up a whole can of
worms if I block write access to the Internet Settings key. There are a
whole bunch of things in there, besides various subkeys and goodness knows
what will happen if I do this. What I really need is to prevent anything
from altering the EnableAutoDial and NoNetAutoDial *values* within the key.
I guess that can't be done leaving everything else alone? Possible use of
some kind of monitoring tool (AdWatch ?) to "catch" an attempt to modify &
then silently block it? Don't know. Ideas?

You can set permissions on a key that would prevent anything it contains
from being changed by a particular user. Unfortunately, that would mean
locking down "Internet Settings" and would prevent *you* and other
programs
from changing other things that are altered regularly. I don't know
exactly
what the side-effects would be but if you want to try, right-click
InternetSettings and choose Permissions. You'll need to use the Advanced
button to turn off inheritance before you can make the changes to allow
yourself Read access only.
