That is good to know...thanks for the warning. Have you tried giving
system read only rights to the "active setup" key?

Until you install the next IE or OE hotfix or SP and it will get
recreated again....

I thought I'd pass this along as I am sure I'm not the only one
who has wanted to get rid of the Outlook Express and IE icons from the
Quick Launch menu. Remember to backup your registry before modifying!!
Outlook Express (delete key to remove icon)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}
IE Icon (delete key to remove)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
Keep in mind that this will not remove any already created
icons. It will keep them from being generated when a new user logs in. I
also noticed that removing IE icon also removed the "Show Desktop" icon.
I added the show desktop icon back by placing it in the Documents and
Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch\ folder.
Now when a user logs on they get the quick launch menu only
showing the "show desktop" icon.
