Disable/Protect Tools...Options Menu

Hi all.

My problem is that i need to Disable or Grey out or Hide the options menu under Tools on MS OUTLOOK or even the whole tools menu, but prefer the previous.

What i really want to do is the protect people from changing the mail option settings.

Any of the above will be fine to me.

I will start with 200 points for it and i'm willing to upgrade if necessary.

Please no visual basic coding.

I'm a delphi programmer, but if it can be done in outlook it'self or by modifying some Registry settings, it would be great.

Thanks to all.

If your using different versions of outlook.. just change the key section to 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0 depending on your version.

Your welcome...

If you want to turn it on, just delete the reg keys that you added to disable it.
