Is there a GPO to prevent users from saving anything (links, docs, shortcuts) to the desktop? All I could find is a way to hide desktop icons, prevent saving in the taskbar, etc.

What about using the group policy filesystem-settings in CompConf\Window s Settings\Security Settings\File System ? You can add a "rule" and deny your users the "Write" and "Modify" permissions...

cheers,
