I'm using XP Home SP2 on a Compaq Presario. When logged in as Administrator
if I right click on a program from the start menu to create a shortcut I
don't get a menu to allow mw to chose "create shortcut". I get a right click
menu in explorer and the desktop. If I log in as another user I can create a
shortcut from the start menu. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
You need to enable the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" Option in your start
menu properties. Follow these steps:

Classic Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."

For New Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Click "Advanced" tab and enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."
