574-Turn off shell protocol protected mode


Group Policy : Turn off shell protocol protected mode

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2
Group Policy Explain :
   This policy setting allows you to configure the amount of functionality that the shell protocol can have. When using the full functionality of this protocol, applications can open folders and launch files. The protected mode reduces the functionality of this protocol allowing applications to only open a limited set of folders. Applications are not able to open files with this protocol when it is in the protected mode. It is recommended to leave this protocol in the protected mode to increase the security of Windows. If you enable this policy setting the protocol is fully enabled, allowing the opening of folders and files. If you disable this policy setting the protocol is in the protected mode, allowing applications to only open a limited set of folders. If you do not configure this policy setting the protocol is in the protected mode, allowing applications to only open a limited set of folders.

554-Do not track Shell shortcuts during roaming

Group Policy : Do not track Shell shortcuts during roaming

 
Group Policy Guide
Group Policy Supported on :
   At least Microsoft Windows 2000
Group Policy Explain :
   Determines whether Windows traces shortcuts back to their sources when it cannot find the target on the user's system. Shortcut files typically include an absolute path to the original target file as well as the relative path to the current target file. When the system cannot find the file in the current target path, then, by default, it searches for the target in the original path. If the shortcut has been copied to a different computer, the original path might lead to a network computer, including external resources, such as an Internet server. If you enable this setting, Windows only searches the current target path. It does not search for the original path even when it cannot find the target file in the current target path.
