Description

This ActiveX control enables users to edit HTML text and see a faithful rendition of how the text would look in the browser. There are two versions of the control: a more powerful version that cannot be invoked by a web site because it includes file access and other features, and a "safe for scripting" version that has restricted functionality and is intended for use by web sites.

If you enable this policy, this control will be available as an administrator approved control and can be run if the user specifies to run administrator-approved Active-X controls and plug-ins under security zones.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, this control will not be designated as administrator-approved.

Options

The empty box and the checked box tell the checkbox items of the Group Policy editor apart (a checked box is an item that is selected by default).
