Outlook desktop icon

W

Will

Is there a way to remove the Outlook icon from the desktop? It's not a
normal shortcut right?

If i just delete it does that somehow affect the functionality of Outlook?
Basically i don't care if it's installed, but I don't want people to have
access to it from the desktop.

Then, since it's not a normal shortcut, i can't just add a delete statement
into the login script...so how would it be removed?

Thanks
