    Hi! rob11, welcome to W7F :)

    Try right clicking the mailbox shortcut(s)

    • click on properties
    • click on the shortcut tab
    • click on the advance button (bottom right)
    • If run as admin is checked, un-check it.

    In my haste I forgot to add, while you are in properties:

    • Click on the Compatibility tab
    • At the bottom where it says Privilege Level
    • If Run this program as an Admin is checked un-check it.

    There can be several reasons win7 acts this way, but it boils down to a security issue within win7 between admin, and user rights

    There is a tutorial here to help:
