Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / September 2007Cannot disable network connections
I used to be able to disable the Local and Wireless network connections by right clicking them and selecting disable, but now I receive the following message: It is not possible to disconnect the connection at this time. The connection may be using one or more protocols that do not support Plug-and-Play, or it may have been initiated by another user or system account. I ran the repair, also by right clicking, but the problem remains. I turned off every possible program I can think, such as ad-aware programs, that might be using the connections, but the problem remains. I even reinstalled the latest network drivers and network applications but the problem remains. Any suggestions?

Thank you. Actually I had already visited the web page you suggested and tried everything mentioned, but there was one item that didn't work as a command in the command prompt: Some files may be damaged, for example, you can try to re-create Catroot2 by following these steps: Start>RUN>cmd net stop cryptsvc ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 oldcatroot2 The last thing mentioned, namely "ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 oldcatroot2" is invalid. If you could help here, what would be the correct command. > This search result may help, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Any > > suggestions? Replace the %systemroot% with the actual drive and path Windows is installed in. For example, if your copy of Windows is installed in C:\Windows then replace %systemroot% with C:\Windows instead.

Thank you. Actually I had already visited the site you mention. I tried the suggestions but nothing worked. There is one suggestion, however, that appeared to be an invalid command to be used in the Command Prompt: Some files may be damaged, for example, you can try to re-create Catroot2 by following these steps: Start>RUN>cmd net stop cryptsvc ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 oldcatroot2 The last item didn't work as a command.
