My son's PC (Windows XP)had four user accounts, including his own as Adminstrator. He wanted all but his own account deleted which I did for him, plus deleting their related files.

Now, if I create a shortcut in the Start-Programs menu and put it on the desktop it does not run the program and I cannot delete this icon. Any shortcuts I create do not work.

Although he is logged in as Administrator it is as if he has limited access. Can anyone tell me what is going on please? I'm sure it must be simple. :confused:
TIA

start
run
lusermgr.msc

that should run the user management program.
might allow you to see if admin account is still live.
