Oh yes.   Good luck as there are many many holes like this....
 
The knowledge base article Jeff pointed out can very confusing.
 
This will stop that explicit issue by forcing it to use IE....
Use a .reg file and backup/test first.

By the way, there is no 100% way of preventing explorer from starting.  It
is tied to the OS in innumerable ways.

Hi All,

 

Does anybody have a way to stop a link in Outlook from opening up a full
desktop in Metaframe.  I just had somebody tell me they can have a link such
as \\Servername\share and it will open up a full desktop.  If anybody knows
of a policy that would stop this please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
