You can change permissions for the desktop folder in the user profile under
documents and settings so that the user has only read/list/execute
permissions and you may also want to make sure they are not the owner of
that folder so that they can not change permissions. If you have a large
amount of users that you need to do this for you can use a Group Policy
logon script and using the cacls command and the username variable in the
path. --- Steve

I'm trying to prevent users from putting icons on the desktop. I've set
Group Policy to block most things, but I'm still able to right-click on a
Quick Launch icon and drag IT onto the desktop.
Desktop re-direction hasn't worked for me unless I've done it incorrectly.
I
created a share named Desktop$, told it to move anything on the desktop to
the location. I thought it was supposed to create a user folder\desktop
folder under my share.
I've seen nothing and I can still drag thing from Quick Launch. I'd prefer
to avoid a mandatory profile so I can at least let people use their own
wallpaper. I don't need to become the wallpaper ogre.
Any suggestions here would be welcome.
