Outlook – How to disable CTRL+ENTER and ALT+S in Outlook 2007

microsoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2007

I'd like to disable the CTRL+ENTER and ALT+S keyboard shortcuts in Outlook 2007, to avoid accidentally sending incomplete emails.

I've found instructions for Outlook 2003 but they don't seem to work in Outlook 2007.

How can I disable these shortcuts in Outlook 2007?

I think you're trying to disable CTRL+Enter instead of Alt+Enter. Here are the instructions:

  1. Select "Tools -> Options" from the main menu in Outlook
  2. Click the "E-mail Options..." button
  3. Click the "Advanced E-mail Options..." button
  4. Look at the checkbox at the bottom

EDIT: For Alt+S, try reading this Technet article to shed some light on disabling shortcut keys: Disable user interface items and shortcut keys. You'll need to setup a group policy with the appropriate admin template. If group policy isn't an option, you should be able to edit HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\DisabledShortcutKeysList\ in the registry.
