Removes the Dfs tab from Windows Explorer and from other programs that use the Windows Explorer browser, such as My Computer. As a result, users cannot use this tab to view or change the properties of the Distributed file system (Dfs) shares available from their computer.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable DFS tab Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured.The Dfs tab appears. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The Dfs tab is removed from Windows Explorer. |
This entry does not prevent users from using other methods to configure Dfs.
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable DFS tab policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer).
Tip
To see the DFS tab, right-click the name of a Dfs drive, and then click Properties.
