Something of interest.

ncpa.cpl = Network Connections Control-Panel Stub

On my machine.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load
ncpa.cpl = no

TweakUI | Control Panel | ncpa.cpl is not even one of the choices.

Network Connections *is* in the Control Panel and double clicking it Opens
Network Connections.
Start | Run | ncpa.cpl | OK | Opens Network Connections
Start | Run | control netconnections | Opens Network Connections

Search for ncpa.cpl brings back nada.
Shoot!!
.....Actually this seems to be another problem. ;-(

If Search is opened with searchadvancedoptions.vbs and then opened a second
time with searchadvancedoptions.vbs, the second instance does not have any
of the advanced options set. Heck of a time to find out about that little
gem. :-)

Mean while back at the Control Panel deal.

Double clicking ncpa.cpl in C:\WINDOWS\system32 Opens Network Connections
Double clicking ncpa.cpl in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache Opens Network
Connections

Theory: intl.cpl = no in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load
does *not* stop intl.cpl from working. Problem must be with intl.cpl.

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
