I have XP Pro on my work pc. Today when I clicked on a shortcut to a
program or the executable itself, I received an error, saying the file
wasnt found and told me how to search for it! But I clicked on the
exe!

Only way around this, was to right click the file or shortcut, click
"run as" and change the selection to the person logged on- me! And yes
Im the administrator.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Sounds like you moved some shortcuts and they kept their original
permissions. Go to the folder where the shortcuts are kept, right-click
to the security tab, click the Advanced button and replace permission
entries on the child objects to inherit the parent permissions. This
should fix all the shortcuts in that folder in one go.
 
In my case, every executable on my pc gives the same error,,,not just the shortcut!
