Default Outlook 2002 - Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook

Hi,
How would I programmatically disable this?
Hopefully it's in the registry somewhere?

Thanks!

Dan

Okay, lets try this.
Can we programmatically read/write any of the settings under Tools|Options ?

Ken: I have your Outlook 2000 book which states we can't. Has anything
changed since then?

Thanks,

Dan

You cannot read/write any values shown in Tools, Options in any version of
Outlook.

If a property there is exposed in the registry you can change that but in
almost all cases (or all cases) Outlook only reads those values on startup.
After that it may write changes back to the registry but it uses cached
settings that aren't accessible to the outside world.

For Outlook 2003 at least, the IM settings are located at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\IM.
