Does anyone know of a GPO setting that will prevent users from deleting
shortcuts and icons from the desktop? I have looked but have yet to find
anything. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

redirect the desktop folder to a server share
set authenticated users on read/execute only by using NTFS permissions
this way they can neither add items or remove them
you can set different redirect settings per OU
