Randy,
The Security Console was designed to allow you to apply per user restrictions, on a stand alone machine, where Group Policies become machine wide. It is based on the same settings as GPEDIT, and this is where you should be looking, in addition to other options.
1) Run GPEDIT.MSC and go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, System. Do not run specified Windows applications. In this policy, define MSIMN.EXE as one of the disallowed applications.
2) Use folder permissions to remove Read access to the Program Files\Outlook Express folder. If you intend for any user to be able to send e-mail from these machines, then DO NOT use the DENY option. Simply remove the specific user or user group from the folder's permissions. They won't even be able to open the folder, much less run anything from it.

I am rolling out over 700 XP Professional Installs. in 17 Computer Labs. each lab has one of 5 types of systems. so the roll out will be done with Ghost. I have a user account in 2 domain and on the local system Domain1/rboone Domain2/rboone rboone on the local system ok on the local system, I log in with my local account and set the profile up. "getting software installed and removing software that is not needed "outlook express being one"" after I create my Local Profile. I then copy this profile to the default profile using KB319774 How To: Create a Custon Default User Profile after creating this profile. I am able to log into the system using the Domain1/rboone account and it has the correct programs installed. and yes OUTLOOK Express is not There this is the same when I log into Domain2/rboone the problem is when someone else logs in. domain1/testuser or domain2/testuser the testuser account recived a copy of the custom default user profile "like it is suppost to get" but it also get a icon for Outlook express. what I am needing is a way to remove this Outlook Express competelly. without having to manually remove it from 700 systems. thanks Randy Boone >-----Original Message----- >Hi Randy, > >Suggestion: > >http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm > >-- >All the Best, >Kelly > >MS-MVP Win98/XP >[AE-Windows® XP] > >Troubleshooting Windows XP >http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com > >Utilities for Windows XP >http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_u.htm#xp_util > > >"Randy Boone" <rboone@txwes.edu> wrote in message >news:f8d301c3f1c7$3c2c54b0$a401280a@phx.gbl... >> Problem >> >> After installing Windows XP professional and creating a >> Custom Default Profile.
