some (not all) shortcut icons now won't work. It says I am not allowed.
this is in Admin. However the icons (all) in a secondary user work.
I tried creating new shortcuts -- the icons appear but when I click on them
it says I am not permitted.
Is there some where to make this go away?

Are you the Administrator or another account user?
