SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Exchange Server administrators can prevent users from accessing their
Exchange profile editor. In this way, administrators can prevent users from
modifying individual Exchange profiles or adding new profiles to their
workstations.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To prevent users from changing or adding Exchange profiles:

- Rename the file Mlcfg32.cpl to Mlcrg32.xxx (located in the
  <Windows>\System subdirectory or System32 subdirectory).

Users will no longer be able to change or add Exchange profiles by using the
Control Panel Mail and Fax tool or by using the Services command on the Tools
menu in Exchange Client.
