Debbie,
Thank you for the response.
For those in a similar position where you don't have admin privs to create the folder structure, I can confirm that if you can have your support temporarily grant you those privs or create the 2 folders below, you will then be able to run macros even after the admin rights have been removed following the creation of the folders.
C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Thanks, all!
