This policy setting is particularly useful to users who do not use a mouse. If you enable this policy setting, Caret Browsing is turned on. If you disable this policy setting, Caret Browsing is turned off. If you do not configure this policy setting, Caret Browsing support can be turned on or off through the registry.
