How do you stop the use of the Print Screen function? Seriously, trying to
lock down users to this level is a real minefield. If you are determined to
do it, why not have a look at a product like AppSense (specifically
Environment Manager)? It can lock out parts of the user interface,
keystrokes,
If you did use AppSense to do this, you could either remove the
*Attach*functions from the menus and command bars in their email
client, or you
could simply prevent the *Attach A File* dialog box from being able to
browse to a pre-defined list of restricted locations.

Yeah, you can have static entries to host names that can point to

But, you need that host name (i.e. www). Setting up a static record
