Good grief, what a minefield of stuff in there :-)
I tried to add a couple of shortcuts to the "Start Menu Programs from
within Windows Explorer, Like I could with WinXP and got "Access denied"
Browsed around Help with "Administrator" "Access" "permissions" and came
away more confused.
Windows7 is beginning to brown me off with it's ("over protective, you
can't do that")

Hi,

That's my personal laptop. Just upgraded from XP to Win7 Home Premium.
Is that blank password?

Sounds like you need to take UAC 101. Here's your first lesson:

UAC (User Account Control) was first seen in Vista. UAC is not a WinXP
feature.
