Vulnerability discussion

This policy setting prevents performance of the First Run Customize settings ability and provides central management controls of what web page will be provided to the user when they launch Internet Explorer for the first time after installation of Internet Explorer. If you enable this policy setting, you can configure one of two choices: 1) Skip Customize Settings, and go directly to the user’s home page, or 2) Skip Customize Settings, and go directly to the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" Web page. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users go through the regular first run process.

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.
