I'd like to create a shortcut on my desktop that opens XP SP2's new "Choose a
wireless network" dialog box.

Windows XP SP2 introduced an interesting new dialog box for displaying and
selecting wireless networks. This dialog box appears when one selects "View
available wireless networks" from the contextual menu that appears when one
right-clicks on a wireless network interface in the Network Connections
window.

Is there a way to create a shortcut that opens this dialog box?

You should be able to right click on the icon in the system tray and select
View Wireless networks.

If you don't have the icon, go to you wireless connection and enable it.

Thanks, but I'm already aware of the icon in the system tray. I want to make
a shortcut on the desktop.

I've also been looking for a direct shortcut to that dialog box, no luck yet.
