Remove UI to change keyboard navigation indicator setting
Disables the “Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the ALT key” option in Display in Control Panel. When this Display Properties option is selected the underlining that indicates a keyboard shortcut character (hot key) does not appear on menus until you press ALT. Effects such as transitory underlines are designed to enhance the user’s experience but might be confusing or distracting to some users.
Remove UI to change menu animation setting
This policy setting allows you to prevent users from enabling or disabling minor animations in the operating system for the movement of windows menus and lists. If you enable this policy setting the “Use transition effects for menus and tooltips” option in Display in Control Panel is disabled and cannot be toggled by users. Effects such as animation are designed to enhance the user’s experience but might be confusing or distracting to some users. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting users are allowed to turn on or off these minor system animations using the “Use transition effects for menus and tooltips” option in Display in Control Panel.
Remove CD Burning features
This policy setting allows you to remove CD Burning features. File Explorer allows you to create and modify re-writable CDs if you have a CD writer connected to your PC. If you enable this policy setting all features in the File Explorer that allow you to use your CD writer are removed. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting users are able to use the File Explorer CD burning features. Note: This policy setting does not prevent users from using third-party applications to create or modify CDs using a CD writer.
Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures
This policy setting allows you to turn off caching of thumbnail pictures. If you enable this policy setting thumbnail views are not cached. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting thumbnail views are cached. Note: For shared corporate workstations or computers where security is a top concern you should enable this policy setting to turn off the thumbnail view cache because the thumbnail cache can be read by everyone.
Maximum number of recent documents
“This policy setting allows you to set the maximum number of shortcuts the system can display in the Recent Items menu on the Start menu. The Recent Items menu contains shortcuts to the nonprogram files the user has most recently opened. If you enable this policy setting the system displays the number of shortcuts specified by the policy setting. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting by default the system displays shortcuts to the 10 most recently opened documents. “
Do not track Shell shortcuts during roaming
This policy setting determines whether Windows traces shortcuts back to their sources when it cannot find the target on the user’s system. Shortcut files typically include an absolute path to the original target file as well as the relative path to the current target file. When the system cannot find the file in the current target path then by default it searches for the target in the original path. If the shortcut has been copied to a different computer the original path might lead to a network computer including external resources such as an Internet server. If you enable this policy setting Windows only searches the current target path. It does not search for the original path even when it cannot find the target file in the current target path. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Windows searches for the original path when it cannot find the target file in the current target path.
Allow only per user or approved shell extensions
This setting is designed to ensure that shell extensions can operate on a per-user basis. If you enable this setting Windows is directed to only run those shell extensions that have either been approved by an administrator or that will not impact other users of the machine. A shell extension only runs if there is an entry in at least one of the following locations in registry. For shell extensions that have been approved by the administrator and are available to all users of the computer there must be an entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Shell Extensions -> Approved. For shell extensions to run on a per-user basis there must be an entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Shell Extensions -> Approved.
Display confirmation dialog when deleting files
Allows you to have File Explorer display a confirmation dialog whenever a file is deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. If you enable this setting a confirmation dialog is displayed when a file is deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin by the user. If you disable or do not configure this setting the default behavior of not displaying a confirmation dialog occurs.
Turn on Classic Shell
This setting allows an administrator to revert specific Windows Shell behavior to classic Shell behavior. If you enable this setting users cannot configure their system to open items by single-clicking (such as in Mouse in Control Panel). As a result the user interface looks and operates like the interface for Windows NT 4. 0 and users cannot restore the new features. Enabling this policy will also turn off the preview pane and set the folder options for File Explorer to Use classic folders view and disable the users ability to change these options. If you disable or not configure this policy the default File Explorer behavior is applied to the user. Note: In operating systems earlier than Windows Vista enabling this policy will also disable the Active Desktop and Web view. This setting will also take precedence over the “Enable Active Desktop” setting. If both policies are enabled Active Desktop is disabled. Also see the “Disable Active Desktop” setting in User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Desktop -> Active Desktop and the “Do not allow Folder Options to be opened from the Options button on the View tab of the ribbon” setting in User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> File Explorer.

This policy setting does not apply to the new Windows Vista common dialog box style.
