Sometimes, binding the same type of software can greatly improve your work efficiency. For example, binding common chat software to the IE Toolbar is a good idea. However, to achieve this goal, we usually have to modify the system registry, which is difficult for many novice users. In fact, with the help of "Group Policy", we can easily install common software on IE.

In fact, the "Group Policy" is not as mysterious as we think. It is the same as the "control panel" and "Registry" that we hear every day, and it plays a certain role in setting up the operating system. However, in terms of capabilities, the "control panel" has the weakest configurable range, followed by "Group Policy", and finally "Registry", which is the opposite in terms of ease of use, "registry" is the most difficult to use. "Group Policy" is in the middle, and "Control Panel" is the easiest to manipulate. Therefore, correct use of the "Group Policy" tool can easily implement many in-depth settings, and generally does not cause system faults due to setup problems.
