domain

I have enabled following policies,

"Prohibit TCP/IP advanced connection"
"Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection"
"Enable Windows 2000 Network Connections setings for Administrators"

after doing all these, all machines running windows xp, 2000 and vista have network settings properties button disabled as expected.

However all machines running windows 7 have no effect, I believe there are few more steps, all Windows 7 machines are on domain and we want to control this via Domain Controler's GPO.

Please let me know, what I need to do to have Windows 7 disable the properties of network connection, I am not network expert, I read few articles about what new has been added in GPO of windows 7 but I am blank.

Everything works fine on Windows XP, Vista, 2003 Server. Only Windows 7 is a problem.
