On my daughter notebook, stand alone windows xp professional, all
administrator accounts on her notebook have a blank desktop and no start
menu.
If I remove her account from the administrator group to the power users
group everything is normal, putting her account back to the administrator
group causes desktop and start menu to disappear.

Tis happens with all administrator accounts even new ones.

You might wonder how do I create a new administrator or change the
administrators group membership..?

Simply I log on with any administrator account then I press cntrl+alt+del
and stop the explorer.exe then run it again.

an any one explain what is happening to the administrator account on this
notebook ...? if it were a domain member I would have had group policy in
doubt
 
If you have Pro type in a command prompt

tasklist /m >"%userprofile%\desktop\module.txt" and post the file that appears on your desktop

Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, File - Run - cmd
