Configuring IE8
Overview
The director of IT at Contoso, Ltd. wants to prevent the company’s Windows 7 users from modifying the default Internet Explorer configuration by installing additional software, such as add-ons and accelerators. She also wants to ensure that the company intranet pages, designed several years ago for a previous IE version, display properly in IE8.

Question 2
Why would you want to enable the Use policy accelerators policy in this case, rather than the Turn off accelerators policy?
I will prevent users from installing other accelerators.
Question 3
Why is it necessary to disable the Turn on Internet Explorer Standards Mode for Local Intranet policy?
It will prevent users from modifying IE.
Question 4
Why, in this case, is it necessary to enable both the Prevent Deleting Web sites that the User has Visited policy and the Turn off InPrivate Browsing policy? Because you need user to browse the internet but also having their sites track later.
