Removing Outlook express from new users

[CarlH]

On windows 2000....

I have removed outlook express from windows components.

I have removed the 2 registry keys from within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\xxxxx as described in various posts and microsoft's site.

I have also removed any traces of the icons from the default user profile yet when a new user logs in they get the Outlook Express icons!!

This is driving me crazy as I have followed everything I can find on the net about this. I have even opened the the user.dat file in the default users folder to double check.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yeah, that's it

it's way outdated and obviously my fileset uses a different method BUT one of the keys keys.del will do it.

sorry its not documented, but if you copy values and search the registry you'll find the right icon.
