We run a fat desktop also. Wouldn't doing this make the Citrix Icons also
appear when they logon to their fat clients? (ie Windows XP desktops). I
want to keep the Citrix icons separate. I don't want the users to be able
to create any shortcuts or folders in their published desktop. I simply
want them to see shortcuts to apps they are entitled to see (ie based on AD
group membership)

Have you considered redirecting the Desktop to the user's home directory?

Subject: [THIN] Published Desktop lockdown
Hi
Ive just built a new farm based on Windows 2003 and Citrix Metaframe
Presentation Server 4. Ive published a desktop and am looking for the best
way to lockdown the "published desktop". Im using Group Policy and have set
several settings to lock the published desktop. I have an issue where I
don?t want the users to see/access the servers local drives. Ive
accomplished this via the following settings:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\windows components\windows explorer\Hide these specified drives in My Computer User Configuration\Administrative Templates\\windows components\windows explorer\Prevent access to drives from My Computer
My issue is that the users can create folders on the desktop but cannot delete them (due to the above Group Policy settings). How can I easily prevent the users from being able to make any changes to the desktop?
As a side note, how do people control what icons are created on the
desktop?? I was thinking of using a script that copies icons to the desktop
based on AD group membership. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks
