LockedFormRegion policy setting for Outlook 2007

[Alan]

I've created an 'adjoining' form region and wish to prevent the user from
collapsing the region. The Outlook 2007 group policy has a
'LockedFormRegion' setting where you provide the region name and the value
1. It looks easy, but I can't make it work, has anyone else managed to use
this setting?

Thanks,

Alan.

It might be helpful if you exported that registry key and included the text in your response. Does the region behave normally otherwise? Are you configuring the region with a manifest .xml file or an add-in?

The region works as expected, just can't get it to lock.


Below is the Form Registration.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\FormRegions\IPM.Note]
"Region1"="C:\\Alan\\development\\Microsoft Outlook 2007\\Projects\\Outlook
Events\\Outlook Events\\Resources\\region1.xml"

Below is the "Region1.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FormRegion
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/outlook/12/formregion.xsd">
<name>Region1</name>
<title>Example Region</title>
<formRegionType>adjoining</formRegionType>
<showCompose>true</showCompose>
<showRead>true</showRead>
<showPreview>false</showPreview>
<hidden>true</hidden>
<addin>Outlook Events</addin>
<version>1.0</version>
<layoutFile>C:\Alan\development\Microsoft Outlook 2007\Form
Regions\Layout1.ofs</layoutFile>
</FormRegion>


Below is the policy setting.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Addins\LockedFormRegions]
"Region1"="1"

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
