| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_SZ | URL (up to 255 characters) | (There is no default value for this entry) |
Specifies the internet address of the Web page link displayed in the Printers folder. The words that appear in the link are stored in the value of SupportLinkName.
This entry stores the setting of the URL box in the Custom support URL in the Printers folder's left pane Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you configure the Custom support URL in the Printers folder's left pane policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry.
This policy lets you replace the default support links displayed in the Printers folder with a link to the printer support Web page for your enterprise. By default, the Printers folder includes a link to the Windows 2000 Support Web page. It can also include a link to a Web page supplied by the vendor of the currently selected printer. However, when this entry and SupportLinkName appear in the registry with valid values, the system displays the link they define in place of the default links.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Custom support URL in the Printers folder's left pane policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers).
Note
Web pages links appear in the Printers folder only when Web view is enabled. If Web view is disabled, this entry has no effect. (To enable Web view, open the Printers folder, select the Tools menu, click Folder Options, click the General tab, and then click Enable Web content in folders.)
