That solved the problem. Thanks very much.
Unfortunately a new, mission critical one has crept up. I can't open System
in Control Panel (nothing happens at all - no error message). Before posting
this I checked every other item in Control Panel and they all open up. I
also notice that, unlike my desktop, when I right-click My Computer, there
is no Properties option, which would open the same panel. I re-enabled
Remove Network Connection from Start Menu to see if that had something to do
with it, but that had no effect, so I doubt that the enabled/not configured
change caused it, but whatever the problem, it is fairly recent, since I was
able to open System a couple of days ago.

It sounds like you may have disabled it through one of the Group
Policy Objects.
To open the Group Policy snap-in enter gpedit.msc in the Start Menu
Run box. In the Group Policly look at:
User Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Start Menu & Taskbar
\Remove Network Connection from Start Menu
Set this policy to "Not Configured". You may need to reboot to have
the
GPO apply... or wait about 90 minutes for the default GPO refresh rate
to reapply the policy.

This is not familiar terrtory for me, so I'm following along as best
I can. I assume you are referring to Event Viewer. Under System Log
there is a recent warning event. When I doublle click it, it says
"Adapter Intel PRO/100VE Network Connection Adapter Link Down".
The message when I click the Control Panel icon is "You do not have
permission to open the Network and Dial-up Connection folder". There
is no error number.
I can't get to this right now but I will follow up on your
suggestions. I'm unfamiliar with the Ncpa.cpl file, but I'll do what
I can and post back. Please feel free to add anything else in the
interim.

What happens when you try to open it? Are you recieving any error
messages? What about the Event Log, are any errors showing there?
If this is a permissions issue check and make sure that you have
proper permissions on the Ncpa.cpl file. You may have other
(registry keys) permissions which may prevent opening the file, try
this and see if it fixes things:

I am in a losing battle with my IBM laptop over access to Network

profiles on this machine. I even created a third administrative
profile in an attempt to outsmart it, but access to this is just
blocked, period.
I'm not sure if the IBM "Access Connections" program on the laptop,
which does seem to work, covers the same territory, but I'd like to
be able to fix this, which is the only listing in Control Panel I
can't open.
