How can I keep XP users from deleting shortcuts from their
desktop?
 
There may be better ways, but you could test giving not giving them full or
modify permissions on their desktop folder in their profile. I know there
are some settings in Group Policy users configurarion somewhere for desktop
also, but I am not sure if you can accomplish that with Group Policy. The
deployment_setup newsgroup folks may have some ideas also.--- Steve

If this is accidental deletions, rather than deliberate, how about just
making the *.lnk files Read Only?
