Display settings and desktop right click disabled?

[danbee80]

Hey Guys

Having a major headache with a problem that has surfaced today. All of a sudden i cannot right click on the desktop, and i cannot get into the display settings, i get this message - Your system admin has disabled launching if the display settings control panel.

I logged into the Admin account right now, so surely i should be allowed to do this?

Any ideas guys???
