Does anyone know how to remove the 'Microsoft Outlook'
icon from the desktop?

OS: Win XP
Office XP Standard

Situation: We have a lab which is mostly used by the
public. But occationally we also have staff trainings in
the lab. They log on to a different account on the network
(we use Group Policies on Win 2000 Servers). The public
does not use Outlook, but the staff sometimes do. When
Outlook is installed it puts its icon on all users
desktop, and I have not found a way to disable that. In
our case, we do not want the public to see or double-click
the Outlook icon. Therefore we only install Outlook when
there is going to be a staff training. Since this takes a
lot of IT resources, it would be nice if there was a way
to leave Outlook installed but to configure which profiles
would actually see the icon and which ones wouldn't.

Thankful for any insights!
