Disable autocorrect and spelling/grammar check features with Computer GPO
We have two classrooms that need to have all the autocorrect and spelling and grammar check disabled.  I know there is a way to do it by a user GPO, but is it possible to do it by computer (with a registry change, etc)?  We can't do it by user because outside of the class the students will need these autocorrect options for typing papers and such.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
