### Prevent changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings
With this policy setting you prevent changes to taskbar and Start settings.
- If you enable this policy setting, the user can't open the Taskbar properties dialog box. If the user right-clicks the taskbar and then selects Properties, a message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action
- If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the Taskbar and Start menu items are available from Settings on the Start menu
