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

You remove the namespace entry from the registry if you want to remove it
from the command line or the login script. Use this link to find the
registry key, export it, and then import the modified registry key from the
command line or login script.

Modify the registry key as follows:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desk
top\NameSpace\{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]


Import this key and the icon will be gone.
