Desktop Shortcuts - Retaining them on Desktop post Updates.

Is there a setting to update computers so they would not add or remove the desktop icons, instead leave it according to the user’s preference? For example, if a user already has a Firefox icon removed from their desktop can the update be setup to not change it according to the user’s preference and still leave the icon on the desktop for the users who like it on their desktops.
