Description

Prevents users from displaying the browser in full-screen (kiosk) mode, without the standard toolbar.

If you enable this policy, the Full Screen command on the View menu will appear dimmed, and pressing F11 will not display the browser in a full screen.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can display the browser in a full screen.

This policy is intended to prevent users from displaying the browser without toolbars, which might be confusing for some beginning users.
