In versions of Internet Explorer prior to Internet Explorer 8 the default connection limit for HTTP 1. 0 was 4.

This policy setting allows you to change the default connection limit for HTTP 1. 1 from 6 connections per host to a limit of your choice (from 2 through 128). If you enable this policy setting Internet Explorer uses the connection limit of your choice for HTTP 1. 1.

This policy setting allows you to hide the reveal password button when Internet Explorer prompts users for a password. The reveal password button is displayed during password entry. When the user clicks the button the current password value is visible until the mouse button is released (or until the tap ends). If you enable this policy setting the reveal password button will be hidden for all password fields. Users and developers will not be able to depend on the reveal password button being displayed in any web form or web application. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the reveal password button can be shown by the application as a user types in a password. The reveal password button is visible by default. On at least Windows 8 if the “Do not display the reveal password button” policy setting located in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Credential User Interface is enabled for the system it will override this policy setting.

This policy setting allows you to turn off the Data Execution Prevention feature for Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2008 Windows Vista with SP1 and Windows XP with SP3. If you enable this policy setting Internet Explorer does not turn on Data Execution Prevention on platforms that support the SetProcessDEPPolicy function. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Internet Explorer uses the SetProcessDEPPolicy function to turn on Data Execution Prevention on platforms that support the function. This policy setting has no effect if Windows has been configured to enable Data Execution Prevention.

This policy setting allows you to turn on or turn off Data URI support. A Data URI allows web developers to encapsulate images and . css files within the body of the URL and optionally encode them by using base 64 encoding. Malware filters or other network-based filters may not properly filter encapsulated data. If you enable this policy setting Data URI support is turned off. Without Data URI support a Data URI will be interpreted as a failed URL. If you disable this policy setting Data URI support is turned on. If you do not configure this policy setting Data URI support can be turned on or off through the registry.
