Karen,
Did some searching and found this...
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/12.html
It looks like the rules are simple for switched ports to desktops:-
1) Enable portfast
2) Disable trunking (DTP)
3) Disable port-channelling (PAgP)
You might want to check out PortFast BPDU Guard - it looks like a new
feature that puts a non-trunking PortFast port into "errdisable" instead of
just STP blocking state when it receives BPDUs (which should never be
received unless someone created a loop between 2 switches). Note seems to
be only available on the high-end switches (5xxx/6xxx).
Regards,
Adrian
