Ok, this is weird, and something I have seen before but it returned a few days after... I logged in via VPN/Remote desktop and everything I have complained about works perfectly... Right click pinned remote desktop connects to a pinned computer, right click my computer and manage.. curious...

Hrmm, you're the first person with a theory and a possible fix. Appreciate it, i'll try it tomorrow at work and will let you know.

Well.. system restore finally worked, choosing a date from sometime last week rather than monday.. Shrug. Crisis averted.
