Custom Group Policy settings for opening office files

[mcloum]

Hi all,

We're going to be testing some software called Accipio Learning. Something to do with kids who dont like school get to use virtual classrooms at home and in school should they ever come in.

A requirment of the software was to not have Office documents open in the Internet Browser window. I couldnt find anything in group policy to change this setting so i made my own ADM file for it.

Its a machine policy so should work for all users. I have called the policy EduGeek options so its easy to find and easily expandable for other options, that cannot be managed out of the box.

I have tested it on 3 users so far and seems to work. Remember to gpupdate for it to work. You will have to rename the attached txt file to ADM and then add it to your group policy template, im sure you all know how to do that.

Let me know how it works for you if you find it useful.

Mike
