I am trying to disable a menu item in Outlook, for example Print. I have
found the controls and IDs of all menu items by enumerating the File menu.
Example of what I have found below. What do I do with this now? I have the
Outlook adm template installed but don't see exactly how to create a GPO to
accomplish what I'm trying to do. Thank you.

this is 2003, right? In the Group Policy Editor, go to the User
Configuration/ Administrative Templates/ Microsoft Office Outlook 2003/
Disable items in User interface/ Custom node. Open the Disable command bar
buttons and menu items policy, then dick Show. Click Add, type in the
numeric ID for the command you want disabled and click OK.
 
Thank you for the extremely detailed answer. That accomplished exactly what
I wanted. Thank you again!
 
Follow-up question, how do I turn something back on once it has been
disabled? Suppose I should have asked that before I turned something off :(
 
No joy.

At first I deleted the numerical entry from the setting but left the setting
enabled. When that didn't work I disabled the setting - still no luck.
Then I added the numerical setting back and left setting enabled. After a
workstation reboot I disabled the setting this time leaving the numerical
value in place. Still no luck.
