Editing Registry via Group Policy

[Guest]

I want to create a Group Policy to prevent users from opening Preview Pane in
Outlook. I found this article which states how to do it:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;832561

I understand that it is considered preferable to edit registry entries by
making changes in a parallel structure contained within the Policies key, as
stated here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323639

However, I've found that when I deploy the object in the Policies key it has
no effect, whereas if I do it directly into the main structure it works -
i.e. this works:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\DisabledCmdBarItem
sList

....and this doesn't:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\DisabledCmdBarItem sList

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

I was looking for the same thing. Apparently, there is a tricky word on the
ID 832561, where USE GROUP POLICY says.... the following registry value "must
also" be deployed...
so I think this mean we need to modify the registry key and add that
registry value.
