Windows Server 2003

Does anyone know of a policy or anything that I could use to limit users
from being able to write to the desktop when they are using an
application from a Termserver?

Sure.

We are running Tarantella's secure global desktop to run
applications off of the termserver.  When the user is using one of the apps
from their client computer they still have access to save files to their
profiles desktop.  I want to disable that.  Not really sure of the
easiest way of doing it. 

Mainly looking to do this for two
reasons.

1) Keep profile sizes small

2) Keep users from "losing" files.  Had one today that
had saved an Outlook attachment to their desktop.  Ended up being their
desktop on the Terminal Server.

Craig,

Have you looked at setting up roaming user profiles with
disk space quotas? I find training staff in Terminal Server, Citrix etc. usage
to be imperative and understated as it is hard for some people to get their
head around the fact that the Desktop they are using is not actually on their
machine physical.

I have thought about that.  Not sure what I would set
that at yet.

I would love to be able to train the users on this, but the
problem is the majority have enough problem understanding how to log on let
alone start throwing profiles and things at them.
