Need to create Group Policy Object to disable Archive from the Outlook 2010 Cleanup Tools

I have a GPO that disables auto-archive but today a staff member found that they can archive using the cleanup tools.
File-->Cleanup Tools-->Archive

I have the Administrative templates loaded but cannot find where that function can be disabled. I have previously disabled items by creating a GPO editing a registry key. Is that an option?

Thank you

All you need to do is download the Office ADM Template for the version of office you are running.
Office 2010
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=18968

From there you can configure this from the following location...
User configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Outlook 2010\ Outlook Options\ Other\AutoArchive

Will,

Thanks for the comment. I had already disabled Auto-Archive in 2014. The GPO is enabled and successfully propagated to the domain. This is a separate functionality in the Cleanup Tools is run ad-hoc. I need to disable the Archive feature in the Cleanup Tools
