Many component utilities and applications are included with the Windows operating system, including NetMeeting, Windows Explorer, Task Scheduler, Attachment Manager, and Microsoft Management Console. Through Group Policy, you can easily optimize the features and options of these and other Windows components to enable or disable usage, enhance security, improve performance, and much more. In this way, you can standardize the way groups of users access and work with Windows components. You can also configure default settings and options and restrict access to or disable specific component features.
