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. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Internet Explorer uses the default connection limit for HTTP 1. 1 (6 connections per host). In versions of Internet Explorer before Internet Explorer 8 the default connection limit for HTTP 1. 1 was 2.

The WebSocket object allows websites to request data across domains from your browser by using the WebSocket protocol. This policy setting allows administrators to enable or disable the WebSocket object. This policy setting does not prevent client-side communication across domains via other features in Internet Explorer 10. Also this policy setting does not prevent a site from requesting cross-domain data through a server. If you enable this policy setting websites cannot request data across domains by using the WebSocket object. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting websites can request data across domains by using the WebSocket object. By default the WebSocket object is enabled.

This policy setting allows you to choose whether websites can request data across domains by using the XDomainRequest object. Note that this policy setting does not block client-side communication across domains through other features in Internet Explorer 8 and it does not prevent a site from requesting cross-domain data through a server. If you enable this policy setting websites cannot request data across domains by using the XDomainRequest object. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting websites can request data across domains by using the XDomainRequest object.

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 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.

This policy setting allows the user to run natively implemented scriptable XMLHTTP. If you enable this policy setting the user can run natively implemented scriptable XMLHTTP. If you disable this policy setting the user cannot run natively implemented scriptable XMLHTTP. If you do not configure this policy setting the user can choose to run natively implemented scriptable XMLHTTP.

This policy setting allows you to specify whether a user can browse to the website of a top result when search is enabled on the Address bar. The possible options are: • Disable top result search: When a user performs a search in the Address bar a list of search results from the selected search provider is displayed in the main window. • Enable top result search: When a user performs a search in the Address bar the user is directed to an external top result website determined by the search provider if available. If you enable this policy setting you can choose where to direct the user after a search on the Address bar: a top-result website or a search-results webpage in the main window. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can select their preference for this behavior. Browsing to the top-result website is the default.

This policy setting specifies whether the user can conduct a search on the Address bar. If you enable this policy setting you must specify which of the following actions applies to searches on the Address bar. The user cannot change the specified action. • Do not search from the Address bar: The user cannot use the Address bar for searches. The user can still perform searches on the Search bar by clicking the Search button. • Display the results in the main window: When the user searches on the Address bar the list of search results is displayed in the main window. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can specify what action applies to searches on the Address bar.

This policy setting allows you to define applications and processes that can access the Clipboard without prompting the user. Note: Do not enter the Internet Explorer processes in this list. To enable or disable Internet Explorer processes use the “Bypass prompting for Clipboard access for scripts running in the Internet Explorer process” policy. If the “Bypass prompting for Clipboard access for scripts running in any process” policy setting is enabled the processes configured in this policy setting take precedence over that policy setting. If you enable this policy setting and enter a value of 1 prompts are bypassed. If you enter a value of 0 prompts are not bypassed. Value Name is the name of the executable file. If Value Name is empty or the value is not 0 or 1 the policy setting is ignored. If you enable this policy setting for an application or process in the list a script can perform a Clipboard operation without prompting the user. This means that if the zone behavior is currently set to prompt it will be bypassed and enabled. If you disable this policy setting for an application or process in the list a script that is running in the application or process cannot bypass the prompt for delete copy or paste operations from the Clipboard. If you do not configure this policy setting current values of the URL action for an application or process in the list prevail.

This policy setting allows you to bypass prompting when a script that is running in the Internet Explorer process attempts to perform a Clipboard operation (delete copy or paste) and the URL action for the zone is set to prompt. If you enable this policy setting the user is not prompted when a script that is running in the Internet Explorer process performs a Clipboard operation. In the Internet Explorer process if the zone behavior is currently set to prompt it will be bypassed and enabled. If you disable this policy setting the user is prompted when a script that is running in the Internet Explorer process attempts to perform a Clipboard operation. If you do not configure this policy setting current values of the URL action for the Internet Explorer process prevail.
