How to disable all web links in a Citrix Xenapp76 published outlook 2007 apllication
We want to prevent out users from accidentally clicking on a link in an e-mail and opening a potentially dangerous virus. instead they should be forced to copy the "hyperlink" and paste into their local machine's browser.
We are running Citrix Xenapp76 with published apps (not desktops). We have one Controller and two VDA application servers. (Mail server is Exchange 2007 standard)
Note: we do not want to affect users using locally installed outlook clients, only the published app version.
Thank you

Can you provide more details on how to accomplish each of the above suggested steps.
We have tried the third - redirect and were successful for links in MS word redirecting to client but where we needed it most to work is in the published outlook application. Links there still open using the local server's browser.
Redirect would be the optimal goal but if that will not work then we want to disable all links for published apps. (not affecting users local computer browser). Is there a local group policy that can be applied?

not applicable in our situation - but thanks for the try
- set a ntfs-access-list to the iexplore.exe prohibit executing these app for users
- use a proxy-file disabling external access (or set proxy to 127.0.0.1)
- redirect http requests to the client browser (combine with option 1 or 2 to prevent local IE usage as fail-over)
