A. A. This is accomplished using the Policy Editor under normal conditions however it can also be performed by directly editing the registry.
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer
From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value
Enter a name of NoNetConnectDisconnect and press ENTER
Double click the new value and set to 1
The user will need to log off and on for the change to take effect
