Hi Dave, Doubt there's a policy for this. If that's the case there's a couple options. You could run sysinternal's process monitor to monitor the registry, make the change on a machine and discover what regkey is being changed then either: a) Create an admin template to set the value of this key and add it to a GPO. Keep in mind that the setting will be tattooed, so if the computers the GPO is applied to ever fall out of the scope of management that setting will not be reverted to its original state; or b) Use GPP to set the regkey with the appropriate value. I believe GPP has the option to revert the value to its original state when the computer falls out of the scope of management too. Daniel.
