WinNT Server - no icons on desktop

Our refrigeration department is running a Windows NT server. The admin setup a new user and logged on as the new user. It came up with the task bar/start button but no icons on the desktop. Can't right-click desktop or drag anything onto desktop. Have no problem with other "non-admin" users. Checked in user's profile folder for desktop folder but found none (most users do not have one - only a couple of them do). Checked user admin settings for anything unusual but found nothing. Never seen this one on any OS. I will try deleting their profile and letting the system rebuild it but beyond that I'm at a loss for ideas.
