Prevent users from changing Proxy settings in Windows 8


i'm migrating group of users windows 7 windows 8.1.  these users restricted changing proxy settings via gpo.

in windows 7, can change proxy settings via de lan settings within ie settings window.  however, in windows 8.1, microsoft has added network>proxy settings pc settings menu in metro interface.  so users can disable automatic proxy configuration have set them , can navigate freely internet.

i have been looking @ gpo setting prevent happening , way i've seen far block control panel/pc settings completely, not allow them change other settings need them able do.

has worked out solution or there new gpo setting haven't found?

i have tried suggestion here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windows/en-us/7d420c66-2e89-43d7-b136-baf5f69690f1/locking-down-ie-proxy-settings-under-pc-settingsnetworkproxy-on-windows-81?forum=w8itprosecurity

but didn't work.

hi cirilobeto,

based on understanding, preventing users from changing proxy settings via windows 8.1 settings charm - change pc settings - network - proxy.as said, have tried method provided nickymayb in post. however, that took no effect.  right?

can tell detailed information configuration of gpo? , can run gpresult /h gpresult.html in windows 7.1 client, check if gpo has been applied correctly.

regards,
