2. How do you change the link order.

On the OU level you can move it "up" and "down" the one on TOP is
running at last. This Tab is showing the "priority", the one with
the highest prio is on top, because it is the last that runs ;-)

3. We have an applications which changes frequently as more features and options are added. How can I add a GPO to add entry in the users Hkey_Current_User\Software\ACME\Another New Version

To edit registry settings you can create your own ADM Template.

4. The GPO hides the Terminal Server /Citrix Drives but the GPO doesn't prevent them access if they type the drive letter in Windows Explorer or within an application when they do File > Open. Can you advise on drive access prevention or utility that applies it to users.

Then you have only set the "nodrives" policy, define aswell the
"noviewondrives"
-> "Hide volumes in explorer" (nodrives)
-> "deny access on volumes in explorer" (noviewondrives)
... sorry, I do not know the right translation.

But at least you need to know, that this settings are only efecting the
behavior of explorer.exe, if someone is using an old winfile.exe or
total commannder or any other software, that is not using the explorer API
on "open/close" dialog, the drives will be shown.

So, you still need NTFS Permission, because anything else is just
a game of hide and seak, when using the explorer, but only the explorer.
