Isn't that what GP Preferences does? (available for Windows XP SP3, Vista, 
Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 SP2?)

You got the option to set defaults that the user can override/add to?

  The Right Thing to do would be to offer separate options in the GPO
to determine whether users can add their own sites, and/or whether the
admin-defined site list used to add-to or replace whatever is there.
This way, admins are limited to doing things a certain way.  Great if
that way matches up with the way you want, bad otherwise.

  Infrastructure should provide mechanisms which you can use to
enforce your policies.  It should not make your policy decisions for
you.
