I'm running 10.1.4 and the Dock and Network Preferences are no longer accessible directly under the apple menu. I have to open System Prefs and then select from there. Anyone noticed this?

Do you have Fruit Menu or any other 3rd party "classic Apple menu" apps installed?

This isn't normal for a 10.1.4 install. Can we see a screenshot? I'm curious.

Maybe I wasn't too clear. The menu option has not disappeared, but when I click Applemenu-->Dock-->Dock Preferences...
nothing happens.

Ahh, I thought the options had disappeared completely. Hmm... I can't think of why that would happen unless there is some kind of permissions problem. The "System Preferences..." option still opens Sys prefs?
Try going to "/System/Library/PreferencePanes" and double clicking on the Dock and the Network ones. See if you can access them from there.

Have the same exact problem, but when I log in to my kids user account, it works fine! Can't figure it out.

OK, this is getting weird! Any file in "/System/Library/PreferencePanes" opens... Classic environment! 
Anyways, if I open System Preferences... from the Apple menu everything works. But I'm still curious...

Yeah, Classic probably shouldn't be loading when you click on a preference pane. 
Rex, can you confirm that it's OK with another account?
To fix it, try this. See note before doing so. Delete the following 3 files from ~/Library/Preferences:
LSApplications
LSClaimedTypes
LSSchemes
Note: This will wipe all file associations you have made. Sometimes these get corrupt and weird things start happening. Because amac said he is having similar problems but his kids' account works fine, it must be something to do with your own Library.

I've done that and didn't work, then I updated prebinding and it worked. I'm not sure what's happened but everything is back to normal, thanx.
