I need to lock down access to sub menues in OL2000.

MS has a script that connects to outlook and retieves ID's
for buttons and menuitems in the GUI.

These ID's can be used to remove/disable buttons and
menuitems in OL through group policy.

The problem is that it dos not list alle ID's. If I for
instance want to remove access to
the "tools|options|security" tab in OL, or subcomponents
of Security, i have no referense to these ID's, only for
the "tools|options".

Can anybody help me on how to control access to these sub
menues/buttons/etc.

:-)
 
You lock down Tools | Options settings with individual group policies for
those options, not with CommandBar IDs.
 
The tools|option is not the problem, it is for instanse
removing/disabling the "zone properties"(translated from
norwegian...) button in the "tools|options|security" menu
bar that is my challenge.

That button has an ID, that can be put in a string of id's
in the "Userconfig|Admin.templ.|MSOL2000|Disable menues in
user interface|custom|Disable command bar buttons and menu
items" GPO

Again, Tools | Options settings do not have CommandBar IDs. The policy you
are looking at applies only to menus and toolbars. The Tools | Options
dialog is not a toolbar. There are other group policies that lock down
those settings. Internet security zone policies are probably under Windows,
not Outlook in the group policy editor.

Hi again Sue!
First, thanks for your replies!

I dont think i am able to communicate my problem to you,
let me try to put it to you in an other way.

I want to remove access to the "Edit" button for
dictionaries in the "tool|options|spelling" GUI.
How do i do that?
 
You can't in code. I don't know if you do that using a customized
administrative installation of Outlook but once it's installed you can't
access or change any of the built-in property pages.
