Remove Archive button from Outlook Ribbon

I am attempting to deploy Office 365 using the ODT and the OCT.  After deploying I noticed the "Archive" button is listed in the "Delete" group, on the ribbon.  I have turned off AutoArchive settings, when customizing the OCT, but the option to remove this button is not listed.

 

I have found the registry entry to remove the button and when I manually enter it, it works.  I have not been able to find a way to enter custom registry entries, in the OCT file, that will automatically enter the setting.  I attempted to edit the .xml file, but the button still shows.

 

How do I edit the OCT file to add custom registry options?

 

Thank you,

Ed

      JohnForth  With that GPO you can grey it out: https://getadmx.com/?Category=Office2016&Policy=outlk16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_disablecommandbar38

      The ID for the archive button is 26308. See also my attachment in my answer

      Just add this Registry to set disable
      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options]
      "DisableOneClickArchive"=dword:00000001

        Thanks ADumith, that registry key worked for me after an Outlook restart.
