Prevents branding of Internet programs such as customization of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express logos and title bars by another party. If you enable this policy it prevents customization of the browser by another party such as an Internet service provider or Internet content provider. If you disable this policy or do not configure it users could install customizations from another party-for example when signing up for Internet services. This policy is intended for administrators who want to maintain a consistent browser across an organization.

Prevents automatic proxy scripts which interact with a server to automatically configure users’ proxy settings from being stored in the users’ cache. If you enable this policy automatic proxy scripts will not be stored temporarily on the users’ computer. If you disable this policy or do not configure it automatic proxy scripts can be stored in the users’ cache.

This policy setting allows you to manage whether a user has access to the Favorites bar in Internet Explorer. If you enable this policy setting the Favorites bar is turned off.

This policy setting allows you to turn on or turn off the earlier menus (for example File Edit and View) in Internet Explorer. If you enable this policy setting the menu bar appears in Internet Explorer by default and the user cannot turn it off. If you disable this policy setting the menu bar appears in Internet Explorer by default and the user cannot turn it on. If you do not configure this policy setting the menu bar is turned off by default. The user can turn on or turn off the menu bar.

This policy setting allows you to add a specific list of search providers to the user’s default list of search providers. Normally search providers can be added from third-party toolbars or in Setup. The user can also add a search provider from the provider’s website. If you enable this policy setting the user can add and remove search providers but only from the set of search providers specified in the list of policy keys for search providers (found under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> policies -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> SearchScopes]). Note: This list can be created from a custom administrative template file. For information about creating this custom administrative template file see the Internet Explorer documentation on search providers. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can configure their list of search providers unless another policy setting restricts such configuration.
