Use the Finder Preferences settings in Workgroup Manager to select a Finder type for the
user, show or hide items mounted on the desktop, and control Finder window behaviors.
You can also make file extensions visible and show users a warning if they attempt to empty
the Trash.

users to see these items on the desktop, you can hide them.
