2003 Group Policy to prevent desktop saving
We have a 2003 SBS server with users' My Documents being redirected to the server, however some users are still saving on their desktop. Is their a GPO to prevent saving on the desktop or another method to prevent this for certain users?

What about an option to make the desktop read-only or something like that...
You can always modify the NFTS security settings on the desktop folder to not allow write (or delete).
You can use folder redirection to redirect the desktop to a file server and then set a disk quota.
Test the quota limits first though to get an idea of what is required and what you can limit too.

If I redirect the desktop and set the quota to 0, what will happen to the items already on their desktop as well as their existing shortcuts?
Also, if they are laptop users how will it affect them out of the office?
