I've got an...unusual...problem with XP and I'm hoping there's someone out there who can maybe see something I'm missing. When I open up network connections, select my active network connection (Local Area Connection), right-click it and click "Status" nothing happens. Similarly, if I click "View status of this connection" in the explorer bar nothing happens. But, if I drag a shortcut to the connection onto my desktop or put the status icon in the system tray and view the status from either of those (right click-> 'status'), it works as normal. I would have tried a system restore but I honestly can't remember when I started having this problem...it's been for some time now. I've run out of ideas. I'm running XP Professional Version 2002 (SP2).
