I Need help making a batch that turns off "Outlook Anywhere"

We have an issue where we get a prompt in outlook that the only temp fix is turning off the Outlook Anywhere checkbox under...
Control Panel - Email - Account - Change - Connection - Outlook Anywhere

is it possible to make a batch file that users can click and turn that off?

AutoIt is a better choice of tool than sendkeys.

You may be able to do with with registry key change too, if you research that.

This looks to be possible with Group Policy from what I can tell from searching the Internet.

Apparently this isn't fool proof either.
