Admin can't run with double click

[jim]

I don't think it's a program installation problem. It
only affects my administrator account and I only have a
problem when I try to run by double clicking.

As administrator, I can't run ANY programs with a double
click, but I seem to be able to run everything using "Run
as...".

I have no problems double clicking from my limited account.
