Admin accounts don't display desktop items.

[Will]

Hi, I have just installed XP pro and some application
programs. For some reason, starting from yesterday, I was
not able to see the icons with Admin account, nothing
clickable.

However, I was able to boot into Safe Mode and create two
extra accounts, one for User group, one for Admin group.
With the regular account, I can log in and see all the
icons, but not with the new Admin account.

Is there anybody who can help/resolve the problem? Thanks
in advance.

Will

Hi Will,

Have you checked to see which folder the icons are in? Should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

Also, in the admin account, right-click the desktop, click "arrange icons
by"-->"show desktop icons".
