Group Policy, Shortcut Extensions, and Internet Explorer 11
Group Policy includes the Shortcuts preference extension, which lets you configure shortcuts to:
-
File system objects. Traditional shortcuts that link to apps, files, folders, drives, shares, or computers. For example, linking a shortcut to an app from the Start screen.
-
URLs. Shortcuts to webpages or FTP sites. For example, a link to your intranet site from your employee's Favorites folder.
-
Shell objects. Shortcuts to objects that appear in the shell namespace, such as printers, desktop items, Control Panel items, the Recycle Bin, and so on.
How do I configure shortcuts?
You can create and configure shortcuts for any domain-based Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
To create a new Shortcut preference item
-
Open GPMC, right-click the Group Policy object that needs the new shortcut extension, and click Edit.
-
From Computer Configuration or User Configuration, go to Preferences, and then go to Windows Settings.
-
Right-click Shortcuts, click New, and then choose Shortcut.
-
Choose what the shortcut should do, including Create, Delete, Replace, or Update.
-
Type the required shortcut settings and your comments into the Description box, and click OK.
