Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

In addition to enabling and disabling preference items within a Group Policy object (GPO), you can individually enable and disable underlined settings or settings preceded by a circle within a preference item.

The underlining or circle of the setting indicates whether it is currently enabled or disabled:

		A setting with a solid green underline or a green circle is enabled. The preference extension applies this setting's value to the user or computer.
		A setting with a dashed red underline or red circle with a slash is disabled. The preference extension does not apply this setting's value to the user or computer.

You can enable or disable these settings within a preference item by pressing function keys:

F5	Enable all settings on the current tab.
F6	Enable the currently selected setting.
F7	Disable the currently selected setting.
F8	Disable all settings on the current tab.
