Vulnerability discussion

The Internet Explorer Accelerator feature is for use with third-party applications and toolbars. This policy setting allows you to manage whether users can access accelerators. If you enable this policy setting, users cannot access accelerators. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can access accelerators and install new accelerators.

Fix text

Set the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer-> Accelerators "Turn off Accelerators" to "Enabled".

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.
