Are you placing the Icon (Shortcut) on the users desktop as the
administrator? If not....You need to.

If this is a workstation in an office, talk to your IT Dept.

Otherwise, provide more information such as what version and service
pack level of XP you have and whether this is a standalone machine,
member of a workgroup, member of a domain, etc.

See this link for the details you should include in a newsgroup post so
you can get focused help:

Hi

If your PC is on a domain and running mandatory profiles (speak to your
administrator to find this out) Then any changes you make to your desktop
will be lost on restarting the machine.

More information is needed.
