Advanced Configuration Settings

These settings allow you to control which options on the Advanced tab are available to users. Items include deletion of stale disk data, resetting defaults and debug log configuration. If this policy is enabled, the options you specify are enforced on the user. If this policy is disabled, all advanced options are disabled and unavailable to the user. If this policy is not configured, all advanced options are available to the user. (If the user resets settings, any other configured WindowSMART policies will be reapplied on the next policy refresh.)

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2 or Windows Server 2003 family with SP1
