WXP registry to prevent changing of OL2003 tracking options?

[leemutpo]

Hi there,

For those stand alone computers (i.e. won't/can't logon to AD), I would like
to enforce outlook2003 email tracking.

After I enforced the settings in outlook2003, users can
accidentally/purposely revert the settings so that I can't track the email
status.

If there is any Winxp registry settings which can prevent users to change
that email tracking settings?

Many thanks!

Not that I am aware of - however, whatever you do, they can undo. I
personally hate tracking - many people use it to just check on you so that
they can call you. I never return read-receipts to co-workers and return
them at MY convenience to managers. And, I don't pick up the phone.

Look at eh Office resource Kit and, possibly, the Custom Maintenance Wizard.

hi bill,
if the custom maint wizard of ork will eventually require me to redeploy
office2003?
if so this is not the solution that i wanted

wondering any other tricks available? many thanks!

It will require that you deploy "something" to modify the settings.
