Disable opening local files in hosted applications

This setting controls whether the Horizon client registers local handlers for file extension that are supported by hosted applications. When this policy is enabled, the Horizon client will not register any file extension handlers and will not allow the user to override the setting. When this policy is disabled, the Horizon client will always register file extension handlers. By default, file extension handlers are registered but the user can disable the feature through the Horizon client UI.
