Policy CSP - ADMX_Taskbar
Tip
These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to Enabling a policy.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

This policy setting allows you to control displaying or tracking items in Jump Lists from remote locations.
The Start Menu and Taskbar display Jump Lists off of programs. These menus include files, folders, websites, and other relevant items for that program. This customization helps users more easily reopen their most important documents and other tasks.
If you enable this policy setting, the Start Menu and Taskbar only track the files that the user opens locally on this computer. Files that the user opens over the network from remote computers aren't tracked or shown in the Jump Lists. Use this setting to reduce network traffic, particularly over slow network connections.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, all files that the user opens appear in the menus, including files located remotely on another computer.
Note
This setting does not prevent Windows from displaying remote files that the user has explicitly pinned to the Jump Lists. See the "Do not allow pinning items in Jump Lists" policy setting.
