Virtual Vault - Export to pst - can that be blocked?

I've just upgraded to 80SP3, and now have Virtual Vault. Fantastic!

question:

When in Outlook, you go to File, export/import, do an export to a pst, you can select the Virtual Vault.
You can then export it to a pst. This will be stored on the local desktop somewhere.

Can this be blocked? I realize this is an Outlook feature, and I assume I need to use the grouppolicy setting 'do not allow pst-creation' (or whatever it is called exactly) to prevent this.
We do not want our users to be able to export their archive to a pst.

Can anyone comment?

Thanks,

Gertjan

Found our policy, which needs updating as we have now started deploying Outlook 2007. Hopefully this should start you along the right track.

I am not sure if this can be done but dont know if making some change in  the MAPISVC.inf would help or not    C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\MAPISVC.INF

As part of our Enterprise Vault user rollout we apply an additional policy which disables creation and use of .PST files.

I will see if I can do some digging and work out what the settings are.
