Vulnerability discussion

This policy setting prevents Internet Explorer from running the First Run Wizard the first time a user starts the browser after installing Internet Explorer or Windows. If this policy setting is enabled, IE is configurable in two ways: 1) Skip the First Run Wizard, and go directly to the user's home page, or 2) Skip the First Run Wizard, and go directly to the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" web page. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, Internet Explorer may run the First Run Wizard the first time the browser is started after installation and provide users the ability to configure IE outside of environment policy. Starting with Windows 8, the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" web page is not available. The user's home page will display regardless of which option is chosen.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
