Set the default screen magnifier type enabled on the login screen

Set the default type of screen magnifier that is enabled on the login screen.

If this policy is set, it controls the type of screen magnifier that is enabled when the login screen is shown. Setting the policy to "None" disables the screen magnifier.

If you set this policy, users can temporarily override it by enabling or disabling the screen magnifier. However, the user's choice is not persistent and the default is restored whenever the login screen is shown anew or the user remains idle on the login screen for a minute.

If this policy is left unset, the screen magnifier is disabled when the login screen is first shown. Users can enable or disable the screen magnifier at any time and its status on the login screen is persisted between users.

Supported on: SUPPORTED_WIN7
