Then I have to ask, why are your users running as admins and local admins? Running as user would solve any number of problems, including drive-by installations, users installing unapproved software, etc.

|| file date/time as well: When you drag & drop the email, they get the
|| date/time stamp of today. And when you open them tomorrow, the
|| date/time stamp will be updated...
|| I know this problems, because i was used to do it that way.

||| the archived e-mails, but the first step is archiving them.)
