Cannot create shortcuts on desktop (XP)

Ok guys, I have another weird problem with a user that I can't figure out.
When the user tries to create a shortcut from the Program Files by right clicking the application, the user receives the following error:
"Windows could not create the shortcut. Check to see if the disk is full"
Checked the disk, it is nowhere near full.
If I try to create the shortcut by simply dragging the application from the Program Files onto the desktop, the following error appears:
"Error moving file or folder. Cannot move Microsoft Word: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use"
The disk is not write protected and the file is not in use. If I log into the user's machine with the Administrator account, I can create the shortcuts with no problems at all. Thanks in advance.

It looks like an issue with the users permissions. I've personally never seen
any options to disable/enable desktop rights within User Accounts.

How about adding a new User Account to see if thats the same ? If it's different
then just delete the other account then add it again.

That is what it looks like, but every user that is set up on all the computers are basically setup as administrators. They all have the permissions necessary to do anything on that PC. I've never seen this before as well, really weird.

I had the user log into another pc and she's able to create the shortcuts with no problem at all.

Finally figured it out. Apparently the user was not in the security settings for her user profile. She had no access to anything. Added her and the problem was solved. Thank you for your help.
