561-Remove UI to change keyboard navigation indicator setting


Group Policy : Remove UI to change keyboard navigation indicator setting

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   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.

Group Policy : Remove Hardware tab

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000

   Removes the Hardware tab. This setting removes the Hardware tab from Mouse, Keyboard, and Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel. It also removes the Hardware tab from the Properties dialog box for all local drives, including hard drives, floppy disk drives, and CD-ROM drives. As a result, users cannot use the Hardware tab to view or change the device list or device properties, or use the Troubleshoot button to resolve problems with the device.

546-Turn on Classic Shell


Group Policy : Turn on Classic Shell

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   This setting allows you to remove the Active Desktop and Web view features. If you enable this setting, it will disable the Active Desktop and Web view. Also, 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. Note: This setting takes 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 Remove the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu setting in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer.

492-Code signing for device drivers


Group Policy : Code signing for device drivers

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines how the system responds when a user tries to install device driver files that are not digitally signed. This setting establishes the least secure response permitted on the systems of users in the group. Users can use System in Control Panel to select a more secure setting, but when this setting is enabled, the system does not implement any setting less secure than the one the setting established. When you enable this setting, use the drop-down box to specify the desired response. -- Ignore directs the system to proceed with the installation even if it includes unsigned files. -- Warn notifies the user that files are not digitally signed and lets the user decide whether to stop or to proceed with the installation and whether to permit unsigned files to be installed. Warn is the default. -- Block directs the system to refuse to install unsigned files. As a result, the installation stops, and none of the files in the driver package are installed. To change driver file security without specifying a setting, use System in Control Panel. Right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click the Driver Signing button.

446-Prevent addition of printers


Group Policy : Prevent addition of printers




Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Prevents users from using familiar methods to add local and network printers. This setting removes the Add Printer option from the Start menu. (To find the Add Printer option, click Start, click Printers, and then click Add Printer.) This setting also removes Add Printer from the Printers folder in Control Panel. Also, users cannot add printers by dragging a printer icon into the Printers folder. If they try, a message appears explaining that the setting prevents the action. However, this setting does not prevent users from using the Add Hardware Wizard to add a printer. Nor does it prevent users from running other programs to add printers. This setting does not delete printers that users have already added. However, if users have not added a printer when this setting is applied, they cannot print. Note: You can use printer permissions to restrict the use of printers without specifying a setting. In the Printers folder, right-click a printer, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
