Description

Designates a group of Microsoft ActiveX controls used to extend browser functionality as administrator approved.

If you enable this policy, these controls can be run in security zones in which you specify that administrator-approved controls can be run.

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

To specify a control as administrator approved, click Enabled, and then select the check box for the control:

• Animated Button - animates buttons in the browser
• Internet Explorer Label Control - displays text at an angle or along a curve
• Internet Explorer Menu Control - adds a drop-down menu or a menu item to a Web page
• Internet Explorer Preloader Control - preloads a Web page into the cache
• Internet Explorer Timer Control - causes events to happen periodically on a Web page

To specify how administrator-approved controls are handled for each security zone, carry out the following steps:

1. In Group Policy, click User Configuration, click Internet Explorer Maintenance, and then click Security.
2. Double-click Security Zones and Content Ratings, click Import the Current Security Zones Settings, and then click Modify Settings.
3. Select the content zone in which you want to manage ActiveX controls, and then click Custom Level.
4. In the Run ActiveX Controls and Plug-ins area, click Administrator Approved.
