As Arkady suggested, you can use devcon.exe (download from support.microsoft.com)
Then make shortcuts with command line parameters to enable or disable your adapter.

Using scripting of shell objects (invoke "Enable" or "Disable" verbs)
also is possible, but IMHO devcon.exe is simpler and more robust solution.

I want to put two shortcuts on my desktop
to enable/disable my network connection.

Any suggestions or places to start looking?

Some firewalls appear to allow that, but I don't
see it as an option in the WinXP sp2 windows
firewall.

Thanks,
