Description

Specifies which buttons will be displayed on the standard toolbar in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If you enable this policy, you can specify whether or not each button will be displayed by selecting or clearing the check boxes for each button.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the standard toolbar will be displayed with its default settings, unless users customize it.

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).
