Sorry, it was a registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\DisablePST
You can also modify or define your adm-template to have it available as a
policy;
CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Microsoft Office Outlook 2003"
CATEGORY "Mail Setup"
EXPLAIN "As a network administrator, you can restrict users from
creating or accessing Microsoft Outlook personal folders (.pst) files."
KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook"
POLICY "Disable .pst files"
PART "DisablePST"
NUMERIC
VALUENAME "DisablePST"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY
