Control shelf auto-hiding

Setting the policy to Always will autohide the Google Chrome OS shelf. Setting the policy to Never ensures the shelf never autohides.

If you set the policy, users can't change it. If not set, users decide whether the shelf autohides.

Example value: Always

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
