PN Agent is great for deploying applicaiton Icons to the published desktop.

Also, you can redirect the User's desktop to their home drive.

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
