Description
This policy controls whether native host executables launch directly on Windows.
Setting the policy to Enabled forces Google Chrome to launch native messaging hosts implemented as executables directly.
Setting the policy to Disabled will result in Google Chrome launching hosts using cmd.exe as an intermediary process.
Leaving the policy unset allows Google Chrome to decide which approach to use.
