How can I setup my computer so that I can give the "users" group the ability
to create or disable a local area connection?

I just reconfigured my machine to have the administrator account and one
user account which I primarily do all my work under. However, whenever I
want to connect or disconnect a local area connection I always have to log
into the administrator account as the "user" account does not have this
priviledge. It's kind of inconvenient.

I checked under "Administrative Tools"..."Local Security Policy" and the
"User Rights Assignment" tree but didn't see anything that would target this
issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put the user in the Network Configuration Operators group.

Thanks bagins. While I did not do it your way, your advice led me to the
Group Policy module which I had never entered before. I found my solution
under "User Configuration", "Administrative Templates", "Network", "Network
Connections" and then enabling "Ability to enable/Disable a LAN connection".

That is OK , but be aware that policy setting applies to all users of
your computer.
