Re: NoAddressBar

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just tried this code below but it did not work. I just realized why
because that keyname path does not exist in Windows 2k3 server which I am
trying to use. Anybody know where the key is hidden in Win2k3 Server?

TIA!

Vahram Havandjian

Class User
Category "IE"
Policy "No Address Bar"
KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions"
VALUENAME "NoAddressBar"
VALUEON "0x00000001 (1)"
VALUEOFF "0x00000000 (0)"
EXPLAIN "Enabled: This will hide the IE Address Bar. If Not Configured or
Disabled the ID Address Bar will appear."
End Policy
End Category
