hi Could anyone help me I need to stop users adding and deleting
shortcuts from the desktop could anyone tell me what to do?

You could try the policy under User Config\Admin Templates\Desktop\Hide and
disable all items on the desktop.
I've never used it before but it sounds like it will do what you want.

Hi,

There are two ways to do this.

1> Mandatory Profiles. They can delete but the profiles recreate on
next logon.

2> Folder Redirection. - Redirect Desktop in Group Policy to a server
share. Make sure you untick that users have exclusive access to it.
Make the share read-only.

Cheers,

Lara

Use a GPO linked to the correct location etc...
Open the GPO to edit it...
Under User Configuration->Folder Redirection you will find 'Desktop'
Choose the 'Desktop' properties from the action menu...
On the Target tab choose the main behavior
On the Settings tab configure the behavior such as 'exclusive access' that
Lara points out.

You will see all of your options here. You can simply redirect all user to
the same location under %username% or you can manage by Group.
