How to: Enable Reply to All?

Did your company disabled the reply to all option on your Outlook?
And even deployed a noreplyall.dll to remove the icon?

It sucks ain't it? Copying all the address from the previous email instead of just clicking on the Replyall button...

You could delete these two (2) keys in the registry then restart your Outlook.
Customize your Toolbar , search for the Actions category and enable the ReplytoAll button.

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\DisabledCmdBarItemsList
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\DisabledShortcutKeysList

If you have GPO applied, this settings will not be retained after you logoff or reboot your machine...

Well a short NT script on your startup can bring it back...

If at first you fail, call it version 1.0
