Can someone explain to me the purpose of the "No
Override" option in a GPO. Is the "No Override" applied
only to the settings within the GPO, or all setttings?

For example, suppose I have a GPO at the OU level that
specifies the user is not allowed to right click and
another GPO at the domain level that only specifies the
home page of IE. Now, if I apply the "No Override"
option to the domain level GPO, will the user be able to
right click or is this overwritten b/c of the "No
Override" option?

Thank you for you time.
