Which policy can I set under User configuration to prevent Internet Explorer shortcuts on the desktop from being deleted? I've looked all over and can't find any.

Also, under User configuration for the Windows Installer why isn't there an option to Prevent user installs but there is under Computer configuration?

Is there any site that will let you download more policies for xp sp2?

Look in the Windows 2003 Security Guide. You can find templates all over the web. And the shortcuts are set in Computer Configuration as that is where it is sotred in the registry hive and not in the user section.
