Disabling the ReplyToAll button using FaceID via GPO

[Gary Underhill]

I have a requirement to remove the Reply To All button from the
Outlook '03 toolbar and menu. I've been told i can do so by specifing
the associated FaceID of the button(s) in Group Policy.

1. How can i determine the FaceID value of the Reply To All button
(and others if i need it)

2. Where exactly in GP do i specify this


Any help appreciated.

1) FaceID is the ID for the picture on the button. You want the button's ID
property. If you don't want to write your own code to recurse the
Explorer.CommandBars and Inspector.CommandBars collections, you can use
either the CommandBars Browser or Outlook Spy tools listed at

2) User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Outlook <your
version> | Disable Items in User Interface | Custom | Disable command bar
buttons and menu items
