Office 2010

Turn off Office 2010 Protected View with Group Policy

 

Open Group Policy Editing

And find the policy you want to edit, as a general rule don't edit the default policy. Create your own.
If you don't know much about group policy checkout other how to's and online bits about how to setup your own policy. It can break your whole network (yes thats from experience)
 

Download the ADM templates

Close
