Using GPO to configure 'kiosk' PCs to show the same taskbar and desktop icons, settings, etc. for anyone who logs in?

I am trying to create a set of shared desktops in our office to act as 'bullpen kiosk' workstations, where a number of people will be logging in concurrently, but still having their own desktop.  However, I want to use GPO to make the desktop experience for each user the exact same (i.e. same shortcuts on the taskbar, same desktop icons, same printer mappings, etc.)   The only thing that should differentiate the look and feel of each user's desktop is anything they modify AFTER they have logged (i.e. documents and shortcuts on the desktop, wallpaper colors, etc.)

I seem to remember that MS had created a toolkit that made this kind of 'uniform desktop for kiosk mode' configurations, very simple but I'm having trouble finding those tools.

Machines are all Windows 7, with Windows 2008 R2 AD domain on the backend.

Any recommendations?
