    You can also use folder redirection for users' desktops; you may want
    to consider doing so rather than trying to break your users of their
    [bad] habits. <G> Alternately, you can redirect the desktops and make
    them read-only, but this opens up a host of user support issues that
    you may not want to tackle.
