Enable RSS Option for Outlook 2007

I am posting this for those that would like to learn about options that can be restricted (or unrestricted) from an Office 2007 installation.  First a little background.  After installing Outlook 2007 I realized that I could not use RSS.  I would get a message stating something to the affect that "You cannot use RSS.  Your system administrator has turned off the feature."  To me it sounded a bit like the Office Policy Templates that I had heard about.  Turns out this was not the case.  Big Brother really didn't seem to care.  What was really happening here is that my registry needed a bit of adjusting.  Thanks to Jose Barreto's experience with something similar I was able to deduce that I needed to tweak HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\RSS\Disable = 0 from 1.  Thanks Jose!
