Allowing limited account to enable/disable lan connection

[AJoe]

I'm on DSL and don't like to be connected to internet 24/7 and I normally doesn't use administrator account. However, windows doesn't allow limited account to enable or disable lan connection, the option is grayed out. Is there a way to turn on this option for limited account? I'm on windows 2000 pro

thanks

Not without writing a program that would call the appropriate APIs using administrator rights (administrative account).

The simple way is to unplug the network cable connection from your computer.

How come there is no option in windows to enable this for limited accounts?
