I'm sure this is a simple question, but I haven't been able to locate a
good answer for it yet...

Let's say I have a User Control used for navigation that contains a series
of image buttons.
This User Control exists on every page for the website, but on certain
pages I wish to disable or hide some of the buttons.

How do I reference the properties of controls within a User Control from
the Page_Load event?

Thanks,

Add a property to your UC, then set that in your pages Page_Load or in HTML
directly, like this:
(this is slightly weird in the way that I pass bools as strings, but it
allows use of the property in HTML as well as code)

// user control:
public abstract class myUC : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected ImageButton myButton;

    public string ButtonOn
    {
        set { myButton.Visible = bool.Parse(value); }
    }
}

// page (method 1, in HTML)
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MyStuff" TagName="MyUC" Src="UserControls/MyUC.ascx"
%>

<MyStuff:MyUC runat="server" ButtonOn="false" />

// page (method 2, in Page_Load)
using MyStuff;
public class Default : Page
{
    protected MyUC myUC;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        myUC.ButtonOn = false.ToString();
    }
}
