Outlook 2007 "Blocked File Type" Error

J

I have 50 identical HP dc7900 workstations running XP Pro SP3 and Office 2007
Professional SP2 on domain. All 50 have the following Office 2007 .adm files
added in the c:/windows\inf folder: excel12.adm, office12.adm, outlk12.adm,
word12.adm, ppt12.adm. All 5 of these .adm templates have been added under
"User Configuration / Administrative Templates" in gpedit.msc. I am using the
Word, Excel & PowerPoint .adm files to "block the saving of .xml file types".
While no such policy setting exists for Outlook 2007, when users close out of
Outlook, the following message appears "Microsoft Office Outlook - You are
attempting to save a file type thatis blocked by your registry policy
setting". This message is to be expected when an end user tries to save a
..docx, .xlsx or .pptx file within Word, Excel or PowerPoint, but why does it
appear when closing out of Outlook? As a side note: end users do not have
administrator rights. Thank you.
