In the Group Policy, Under User Configuration,
Administrative Templates, Under Desktop, in Active
Desktop folder, there are settings in there that can
prohibit desktop modification.

I don't think there is much you can do for the desktop, by default users
have full access to thier desktop. You can redirect desktop to a network
share where they do not have write access. You could also choose to hide all
icons on the desktop and lock down the start menu icons.

the desktop shortcuts
