Hide Advanced Properties Checkbox in Add Scheduled Task Wizard
This setting removes the “Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish” checkbox from the last page of the Scheduled Task Wizard. This policy is only designed to simplify task creation for beginning users. The checkbox when checked instructs Task Scheduler to automatically open the newly created task’s property sheet upon completion of the “Add Scheduled Task” wizard. The task’s property sheet allows users to change task characteristics such as: the program the task runs details of its schedule idle time and power management settings and its security context. Beginning users will often not be interested or confused by having the property sheet displayed automatically. Note that the checkbox is not checked by default even if this setting is Disabled or Not Configured. Note: This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

Prohibit Browse
Limits newly scheduled to items on the user’s Start menu and prevents the user from changing the scheduled program for existing tasks. This setting removes the Browse button from the Schedule Task Wizard and from the Task tab of the properties dialog box for a task. Also users cannot edit the “Run” box or the “Start in” box that determine the program and path for a task. As a result when users create a task they must select a program from the list in the Scheduled Task Wizard which displays only the tasks that appear on the Start menu and its submenus. Once a task is created users cannot change the program a task runs. Important: This setting does not prevent users from creating a new task by pasting or dragging any program into the Scheduled Tasks folder. To prevent this action use the “Prohibit Drag-and-Drop” setting. Note: This setting appears in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.

Do not display or track items in Jump Lists from remote locations
This policy setting allows you to control displaying or tracking items in Jump Lists from remote locations. The Start Menu and Taskbar display Jump Lists off of programs. These menus include files folders websites and other relevant items for that program. This helps users more easily reopen their most important documents and other tasks. If you enable this policy setting the Start Menu and Taskbar only track the files that the user opens locally on this computer. Files that the user opens over the network from remote computers are not tracked or shown in the Jump Lists. Use this setting to reduce network traffic particularly over slow network connections. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting all files that the user opens appear in the menus including files located remotely on another computer. Note: This setting does not prevent Windows from displaying remote files that the user has explicitly pinned to the Jump Lists. See the “”Do not allow pinning items in Jump Lists”” policy setting.
