Problem with desktop restrictions

I have a small network running 2003 server, with 10 XP workstations. We
began testing the use of group policies to send certain settings to the
desktops. But we had issues so we reverted back to an un modified copy.
Now, when I replaced two systems with new PC's, the users cannot modify the
settings of the desktops. They cannot put folders or shortcuts on the
desktops, but they can add folders to the drive in windows explorer. My
question is, where do I look for the settings that are preventing them from
doing this? It has happened only on the two new systems. All of the other
systems are just fine.
