Can anyone provide any guidance to documentation for these new policies in each IE Security Zone in GPMC?"Allow OpenSearch queries in Windows Explorer""Allow previewing and custom thumbnails of OpenSearch query results in Windows Explorer"The explanation doesn't mean much to me. Looking for why it's there from a security perspective, defaults, what security guidance on what it should be, etc.Thanks

Hi, Windows 7 supports the connection of external sources to the Windows Client through the OpenSearch protocol. This enables users to search a remote data store and view results from within Windows Explorer. For more information, please refer to the following article: Federated Search in Windowshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd940456(VS.85).aspx Hope the information is helpful.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thanks Joson,While this is great info on OpenSearch, it doesn't really address IE and these specific security policies that I'm looking for.

Hi, I am afraid that there is no document describing how to configure the polices so far. Based on my understanding, whether to enable the polices or not is based on the organization’s requirement. In addition, I think they should only be enabled in Trusted and Local Intranet zones.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
