Is there a way I can use a GPO to specify a network location for the desktop
of the users. I just want them to have all the same desktop and not be able
to save to it. Thanks for the info.

This is not a "true policy", in that the setting will remain in place when
the user object falls out of scope of the policy, but you want to change the
"desktop" value in the following registry key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

Set it to the UNC path of your network location. You can either create a
..reg file and import with "regedit /s", or use VBS to modify the registry.
Your choice.

Regards

Oli
