Hey Folks,

Quick question...

We want to stop users in the company from using stationery in Outlook.
I think the easiest way would be to delete it, no?

Where is Stationery stored on the computer?

Thanks in advance.
 
Have you even tried using Windows Search? A simple query produced the results you are looking for.

I researched this for my "Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003" book. There are several steps you need to take:

1) Create a NewStationery value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings key and leave it blank to prevent users from choosing any default stationery. You can create a new .adm file if you want to add that to the group policy editor.

2) Use the group policy editor to disable certain toolbar commands in both Outlook and Word:

Outlook

Word

Format Theme 3623
Format | Background Standard Colors 3224
Format | Background More Colors 2857
