Users cannot control any of the customizable settings because the administrator controls all of the settings. When a user starts Outlook, Outlook checks a Windows registry key to see if the administrator has specified that the user can use customized settings. If the registry key is not found, or the registry key is not set to enable customized settings, Outlook uses the default maximum security settings and all of the features of the security update are enabled. If the registry key exists, however, and it is set to enable custom settings, Outlook retrieves the user's settings from the public folder on the Exchange Server computer. To do this, users need to add the Outlook Security Settings public folder to the Favorites folder and then synchronize the folders.
