 Ma> startup fine yesterday until I modified sbbs.ini to get DoorParty working.

 Ma> I changed the IP for RLOGIN from 0.0.0.0 to the IP of my "server" as the
 Ma> DoorParty docs said and Door Party still did not work.

This is unnecessary and their docs should not be telling you to do this.

 Ma> I have since used echicken's documents and files to get DoorParty working,
 Ma> but the Control Panel is still acting strange.

For the sake of including it in this thread, instructions can be found here:

and here:

Re: your other problem, if you can start Synchronet manually and you reverted *all* changes to sbbs.ini, then these are two separate issues being conflated as one.

This page:

https://wiki.synchro.net/install:win

says:

"When the installation process is completed you may find a new Icon on your Desktop and/or your Startup Folder in your Start Menu. If you do not want Synchronet to start automatically during boot, you may safely delete the Synchronet shortcut from your Windows Startup Folder."

I don't know if this applies to your version of Windows, but I guess I'd start by checking that a shortcut to Synchronet Control Panel exists at that location.
