My question is how to restrict user from copying the files in the desktop, through GPO

What about taking away "Write" rights to the folder? You would need to have a script to change the NFTS permissions (since they lie on a file server) and need to asure that user's are not owners of the %username%-folder (so they can't change back permissions).

Both can be done by scripting. See Xcacls.vbs script or the "Hey Scripting Guy" series:

This approach may not be what you were searching for - but at least a starting point from which you can start making a new plan...

cheers,
