Description:
cannot enable named pipes within administrator

in administrator you can select named pipes (service control-> configure service) but this dos not enable named pipes - you have to manually edit the my.ini and add the configuration directive to enable named pipes

How to repeat:
* open administrator
* select MySQL service
* open service control
* select configure service
* select checkbox 'Named Pipes'
* save
* restart service
* try to connect using named pipes

Suggested fix:
add another checkbox for named pipes in another tab or make the administrator make the changes in the my.ini file and not just select another executable.

Named pipe support was never really supported in MA, so we removed the check box for that protocol. It might reappear once we have implemented full named-pipe support.

Update: name pipe connections have been implemented completely
