A Favorite Revisited

A method to disable buttons and menus in M$ Office.



I re-visited an old favorite today. A method of disabling buttons, menu items, etc. in Microsoft Office applications via group policy. We use it to disable the print button so people might be more aware of where they are printing to. However, you can use it to disable a bunch of different things in Office. If you visit here and scroll down to the "Difficult Policies" section you will find some instructions on how to do this. The trick sometimes is finding the real name to put in the script to give you the control ID. Most of the time it is pretty standard, but some controls are not.
