Hiding the "Work with Outlook" feature on the PWA HomePage

[San Diego]

We don't need this feature and want to hide or delete this option from the
homepage.
Any direction on removing the link and the pic, would be appreciated.

Also I see the same option is also located on the Tasks page.

Thanks much

Outlook integration is made possible by an active X control downloaded and installed
from PWA (Project Web Access), when a team member or anybody else logs in there will be a couple
links in PWA that point to this feature. It won't work without the download, but there is not a built in Administration
configuration to disable it either.

What I think is best is to make the active X control unavailable until we can test it out and see what problems
or benefits it can be and we are also limited by the fact that many of core users don't have Outlook or unique domain accounts.

I changed this to MPSADDIN.exe.lockout
