| | Windows Mail GPO This policy setting does not work for me: "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Mail\Turn off Windows Mail Application" = enabled. Windows Mail still opens. Similar setting for Movie Maker works just fine. Can someone confirm this? |

That setting does not work. Nice find. And the reason is ... WinMail searches for HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Mail\ManualLaunchAllowed, but never seems to search for HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Mail\ManualLaunchAllowed. Similarly, DisableUserCommunities seems to only apply to the machine, not to the user. [Troubleshooting tips - I used ProcessMonitor from SysInternals to get the details of what registry values were, and weren't being used, and I vgrepped my way through C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\WindowsMail.admx to see what registry values the policy setting enabled or disabled.] Alun. ~~~~ -- Texas Imperial Software | Web: http://www.wftpd.com/ 23921 57th Ave SE | Blog: http://msmvps.com/alunj/ Woodinville WA 98072-8661 | WFTPD, WFTPD Pro are Windows FTP servers.
