This could be permissions, on filesystem and/or registry,
or it could be policy settings (although someone would
have had to have been determined to make this selective
based on accounts).
Let's narrow things down. Assuming the one working
account is an admin (since it can install software), if you
use it to define a new account, what is the start menu like
in this new account, if it is a limited account, and if it is
an admin account ?
