This policy setting prevents the user from changing the level of pop-up filtering. The available levels are as follows: High: Block all pop-ups. Medium: Block most automatic pop-ups. Low: Allow pop-ups from secure sites. If you enable this policy setting, the user cannot change the filter level. You can specify the filter level by importing Privacy settings from your computer under Internet Explorer Maintenance.
