You must specify one of the following values: 0: Let Internet Explorer decide. 1: Force pop-up windows to open in new windows. 2: Force pop-up windows to open on new tabs. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Internet Explorer uses the user’s setting for pop-up windows in tabbed browsing.

Allow Internet Explorer 8 shutdown behavior
This policy setting allows you to revert to the Internet Explorer 8 behavior of allowing OnUnLoad script handlers to display UI during shutdown. This policy setting may be needed to fix compatibility problems with particular web applications. If you enable this policy setting OnUnLoad script handlers display UI during shutdown. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting OnUnLoad script handlers do not display UI during shutdown (default behavior in Internet Explorer 9).
Turn off suggestions for all user-installed providers
This policy setting allows you to turn off suggestions for all user-installed search providers. If you enable this policy setting the user cannot view suggestions for user-installed search providers. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can choose to view suggestions for all user-installed search providers that offer suggestions.
Set tab process growth
This policy setting allows you to set the rate at which Internet Explorer creates new tab processes. There are two algorithms that Internet Explorer uses. The default algorithm has four settings: low medium high or default. Low creates very few tab processes; medium creates a moderate amount of tab processes; and high allows the tab process to grow very quickly and is intended only for computers that have ample physical memory. The default setting creates the optimal number of tab processes based on the operating system and amount of physical memory. We recommend the default setting. The second algorithm must be explicitly enabled through the creation of an integer setting. In this case each Internet Explorer isolation setting will quickly grow to use the specified integer number of tab processes regardless of the physical memory on the computer or how many Internet Explorer isolation settings are running. If you enable this policy setting you set the rate at which Internet Explorer creates new tab processes to low medium or high or to an integer. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the tab process growth is set to the default. The user can change this value by using the registry key. Note: On Terminal Server the default value is the integer “1”.
Turn off the quick pick menu
This policy setting allows you to prevent the quick pick menu from appearing when a user clicks in the Search box. If you enable this policy setting when a user clicks in the Search box the quick pick menu does not appear until the user starts typing. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting when a user clicks in the Search box the quick pick menu appears.
Prevent Internet Explorer Search box from appearing
This policy setting prevents the Search box from appearing in Internet Explorer. When the Search box is available it includes all installed search providers and a link to search settings. If you enable this policy setting the Search box does not appear in the Internet Explorer frame. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the Search box appears by default in the Internet Explorer frame. Note: If you enable this policy setting Internet Explorer does not enumerate search providers for the Accelerators infrastructure. If Accelerators are turned on users can install search providers as Accelerators to include them on the Accelerator menu.
Specify default behavior for a new tab
This policy setting allows you to specify what is displayed when the user opens a new tab. If you enable this policy setting you can choose which page to display when the user opens a new tab: blank page (about:blank) the first home page or the new tab page. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can select his or her preference for this behavior. The new tab page is the default setting.
Allow deleting browsing history on exit
This policy setting allows the automatic deletion of specified items when the last browser window closes. The preferences selected in the Delete Browsing History dialog box (such as deleting temporary Internet files cookies history form data and passwords) are applied and those items are deleted. If you enable this policy setting deleting browsing history on exit is turned on. If you disable this policy setting deleting browsing history on exit is turned off. If you do not configure this policy setting it can be configured on the General tab in Internet Options. If the “Prevent access to Delete Browsing History” policy setting is enabled this policy setting has no effect.
