How to disable Outlook's Junk E-mail Filter using reg.exe
Q: One of out clients wants me to following this instruction Disable Outlook's Junk E-mail Filter - http://www.chicagotech.net/netforums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14419

to disable Junk Email Folder using regedit. But when I run regedit, I do see HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook.

Can we disable Junk Email Folder using regedit? If yes, how?

A: Yes, you can create the key below in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook:

DWord: DisableAntiSpam
Value: 1 (Hex)

You can create a batch file include this command:
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\outlook /v DisableAntiSpam /t Reg_DWord /d 1

This is before running the batch file.

After running the batch file, the Junk E-Mail tap disappears.
