When I checked News Group on 10/17, saw that MS has
changed format of how messages look. Couldn't find my
original message. Somehow got deleted. But found later
communications though. Used it as a base to make this new,
abbreviated posting, in hopes of getting a solution to my
problem.

Yes & no. Your statement oversimplifies.
I did some "serious" checking out this time to make sure
that I got the same results from each different route each
time. I'm seeing 3 different error messages
("...unexpected error..." and "...shell32.dll,control..."
and "IE Problem. Send error report to MS?") via at least 5
different paths
(1) Start menu... Settings... Control Panel... Network
Connections... (see LAN & A1) click on A1... Nothing
happens, except all menus disappear.
(2) Win. Explorer... Control Panel... double-click Network
Connections... click (select) A1... File menu...
Properties... "Unexpected error"!
(3) Win. Explorer... Control Panel... double-click Network
Connections... rt. click A1... Properties... "Unexpected
error"!
(4) Win. Explorer... Control Panel... double-click
Internet Options... (only get 5 tabs, no Advanced tab)
Connections tab... select A1... Settings button...
Properties button... click on Advanced
tab... "shell32.dll,control" error! "IE Problem. Send
error report"!
(5) IE6... Tools menu... Internet Options... (only get 5
tabs, no Advanced tab) Connections tab... select A1...
Settings button... Properties button... click on Advanced
tab... "IE Problem. Send error report?"!

So when you look at the properties of your dial up
connection, all the tabs except Advanced work OK.
And when you click on the advanced tab, you get
the unexpected error?

To be clear you mean the advanced tab, not the advanced
button on the advanced tab, right?

Tried both steps in That Knowledge Base Article
[ http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824923 ]
Both steps gave "completed successful" responses. But
no help. Still same error message when trying to view
properties.
Tried the suggested:
Rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcpl.cpl to inetcpl.old
Copy C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\inetcpl.cpl to
C:\WINDOWS\system32
Restart computer
But this did not solve problem either.

Probably should go after the missing tabs first.

Have you tried a "regsvr32 shell32.dll"?
