This policy setting allows you to configure the default behavior of new tab creation in Internet Explorer.
If you enable this policy setting, the user will not be able to configure tab behavior. You must specify whether tabs should open in the foreground or background. The user will not be able to open the tabs in the background by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+SELECT or to open the tabs in the foreground by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+SELECT.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the user will be able to control the tab opening behavior.
