Hello

I have a strange thing happening with one of my Windows XP machines.

The machine is running XP SP2, which i have uninstalled and reinstalled SP2
this did not fix the problem. The problem is

When you click on the My Computer icon from the Start menu, the search
function launched and not my computer
When you click on the control panel from the start menu, windows tells you
that you can not create a shortcut here would you like to create one on the
desktop instead!!

I have tried with multiple Mice, Keyboards and even different monitors. The
computer is fully up to date with patches and hotfixes. The Virus
definations are upto date and all scans have been run with nothing found even
run a couple of spyware utilities on this one and not pick up anything.

And now for the confusing part.. As we have a domain here, when i log on as
the domain administrator then non of these funny issue happen, if you log in
as a local admin then they do. If you log in as any user from the domain
with out admin rights then all the above errors occur.

Has anyone come across anything like this before??

Cheers

Gareth
