locking down the desktop using windows server 2003?

[ColdAsIce]

Basicallly looking for some help from all you IT Techs out there.

Working in a school at the moment and I cant see any options in windows server 2003 for a policy to lock the desktop down. So that they cant delete icons from the desktop or from start > programs etc. Currently removed access to the control panel, run command, cmd prompt and hidden the C: Drive but as I said they can still simply delete icons.

Any advice on how to solve this problem ?

Many thanks

Guys I am having no luck with this at all.

Going to write down what I am doing step by step and hopefully someone can direct me in what I am doing wrong.

Sooo I go into the Group Policy Management. I then edit the "students" gpo.

I go into user configuration > windows settings > folder redirection > desktop (right click | properties)

I then select (Basic - Redirect everyones folder to the same location)

Target folder location = Redirect to the following location

in root path I type the following location: \\ic-apps1\share

This is the location to the server that contains 5 shortcut icons being word, excel, access etc.

When I now login as a student none of those icons appear on the desktop :/ HELP
