Hello DCA.

There is a policy to prevent users from using the desktop at all.

User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\
Hide all icons on Desktop

You may want to take use of Mandatory Profiles to prevent users from do any
changes at all to there profile.

If you just want to lockdown the desktop and prevent users from creating
item on the desktop you have to modify ACL and prevent users from access the
Desktop Folder in there profile, may by redirect the Desktop out side the
profile with Folder Redirection within a Group Policy.
