Disable changing history settings

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer

Description

Prevents users from changing the history settings for the browser.

If you enable this policy, the settings in the History area on the General tab in the Internet Options dialog box appear dimmed.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can change the number of days to store Web page information and clear Web page history.

If you set the Disable the General page policy (located in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel), you do not need to set this policy, because the Disable the General page policy removes the General tab from the interface.
