Ok, why didn't you say so? :-}
Copy the article.layout from:
C:\Program Files\LyX15\Resources\layouts
to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\lyx15\layouts
then you can rename the file to spconf.layout and then open it in a text
editor and edit the declare latex line to:
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article,spconf.sty]{article (spconf)}
You can change article (spconf) to any name you like. Then reconfigure LyX
and in the document settings 'article (spconf)' should show up.
Even though you prefer Paul's approach to placing your spconf.sty file
within the MiKTeX default locations, I still recommend setting up your own
personal latex hierarchy to store these custom .sty or .bst files. So that,
in the future if you had to reinstall Windoze (for some strange reason, God
forbid :-}). You know exactly where your custom files are and you don't have
to go searching through the bowels of MiKTeX to find them.
Just my 0.02.
