Don't know about the others (there might be specific ADM templates for them) but Windows Messenger can be controlled through User or Computer Policy by going to Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Messenger. The only way to remove the icons would be with some sort of startup/logon script.

Also is there a way to remove the icons for these three programs so users do not even see them. Thanks for any and all replies.
