in my control panel (category view or classic view) i have two network
connections icons. they both say "Network Connections" and they both do
essentially the same thing (one opens network connections in the same
window, the other in a new additional window).

my other xp computers only have one, which opens network connections in the
same window.

any ideas why i have this additional one, and how to get rid of it?

also, most of the icons in the control panel of my laptop are different than
in my desktop (for the control panel classic view - category view looks the
same). they are both winxp pro with service pak 2. not sure why, but....
any ideas about this?

thanks,

mark
