Removing Connections Tab from Internet Options of Internet Explorer Using Group Policy

Scenario: In an education institute or other such places where users are restricted to view certain sites by means of giving a proxy and different port no, it is oberserved that over the period of time even users get smart enough to remove proxy from Internet options and access those restricted sites. What to do in such scenario?

Solution: [1] Remove connections tab from the Internet Options of Internet Explorer. So no one could change the proxy only.
This is how you do it
[1] Run > Type "gpedit.msc"
[2] On the left frame inside User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel
[3] On right frame access the properties of "Disable connections page" by right clicking on it properties
[4] Select Enabled and click ok.

Its done and similar explorer other options to tweak the by deafult tabs and settings
