A size of 0 often equals "no limit" and I'd not expect it to disable creation or archiving to PST files, it's about size not existence. I'd also not anticipate that the DisablePST would remove a PST file from a profile as I can't find any documentation that is what it is supposed to do. Actually none of the items Sue talks about would appear to do that, instead the profile would need to be modified to remove the entries.
The GPO method is described in a number of locations (including the archives... which are available on CD BTW).
