That's going to cause double shortcuts on the desktop though, right?
I'm not going to modify the way the apps are published to not put
shortcuts on the desktops, and I'm not going to publish a specific set
with that turned off, just for one user.

You could make hard links for that user to the published apps which are
local shortcuts and not PNA populated

The user wants them on the desktop, but prefers for her Citrix icons to
not keep moving back to the left side of the screen.  She wants a bunch
of them (Outlook, Word, ADP) on the right.  

A shortcut on the desktop to the icon on the start menu would work, but
we're talking about office apps, and I can't remove them from the
desktop for all users just to appease one or two.  They'll  just have to
deal with them moving around.

Ok let me give another idea then... how about you don't create the icons
on the desktop and only on the start menu in a FOLDER you specify. Could
you not then just have a shortcut to the folder created already on the
desktop and it would remain in the same place always?

        I'm telling you, citrix recreates the icons on refresh.  It's a
logical course of action because if the user is removed from accessing
an application then PNA must delete the icon.

        One other thing that struck me that you might try...make his
home desktop icons read only and see if they move.  I know there are all
sorts of utilities out there to lock the desktop. Wonder if you have to
go down that road.

                Are you talking about the icons on the desktop or the
start menu?  That is a windows function under view of the appropriate
folder. You need to uncheck autoarrange.
