Description
This policy setting prevents Internet Explorer from running the First Run Wizard the first time a user starts the browser after installing Internet Explorer or Windows. If this policy setting is enabled, IE is configurable in two ways: 1) Skip the First Run Wizard, and go directly to the user's home page, or 2) Skip the First Run Wizard, and go directly to the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" web page. If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, Internet Explorer may run the First Run Wizard the first time the browser is started after installation and provide users the ability to configure IE outside of environment policy. Starting with Windows 8, the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" web page is not available. The user's home page will display regardless of which option is chosen.
