Every time I boot up, I get a dialog box that says
restoring network connection to... which then fails and I
have to click No so it won't continue trying to restore my
connections.

What happened to the Quick Logon option that used to be
available in Client for Microsoft Networks that would
allow you to only restore network connections when used?

Thanks!
 
Hey...never mind. I actually found the answer in the
knowledge base (finally). I thought I would post it here
in case anyone else wants to know. I already tried it and
it worked great!


SUMMARY
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you
can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

When you use Remote Access Services (RAS) you have the
option to disable automatic restoration of network
connections at logon (known as ghosted connections.) If
you do not install RAS, you can enable ghosted
connections. To do so:
Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network
Provider

Click Add Value on the Edit menu.
Enter the following values:
Value Name: RestoreConnection
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 or 1

Setting this value to 0 causes Windows NT to ghost the
connections.
Quit Registry Editor and restart Windows NT.
