I'm using Group Policies in Windows 2003. Does anyone know if and under what
setting would disable the ability to use Remote Desktop Connection on a Win
XP workstation. Thanks for any reply

One immediate way that i can think of is to add that program to the
disallowed applications object. just put in the exe name and it should
be prevented from running.

The exe that runs remote desktop connection is mstsc.exe. you could create a
policy that stops this from running
administrative templates/ system/ Don't run specified windows applications

Does the following setting - set to "disabled" - work?
Comp Conf\Adm Templ\Windows Comp\Terminal Services - "Do Not Allow New
Client Connections"

Why don´t you define RDP Permissions in your Terminal Server Management?
Sometimes it´s easiear to configure 2 or 5 Servers instead of x.xxx
clients ..
Or instead of working with SRP you can adjust the NTFS permission on
mstsc.exe via Security Policies \ Filesystem

Just my 2 cents.
