If you are on 2008R2 or Windows 7 (IE 7+) there is a GPO setting for this registry value:

Tab: Administrative Template (inetres.admx)
Policy Path:  Windows Components\Internet Explorer

Computer Policy         Line 1666
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main!AllowWindowReuse

User Policy:               Line 1667
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main!AllowWindowReuse
Yes, this registry key should do the job for you.

I know the registry key does the job, which means I have to do that on a single computer and is not an efficient way to do it.

That is why I asked about the ADM. There is no GPO Setting for AllowWindowReuse.

I am using IE 8.

Thanks,
The registry value you're looking for exists in the INETRES.admx file:

The policy name is "TURN OFF CONFIGURATION OF WINDOW REUSE"

Ohh, so you guys are saying that I have to modify the original and built-in ADM template ?
No. The policy exists already. It's just not the name you're looking for.
If you don't see the policy "Turn off Configuratiin of Window Reuse" try editing the GPO from a 2008R2 server. The ADMX files may need to be updated.

hmm, I am confused.

What about the comments on 38862765 "look on this portal, where it shows to customize the adm temp" and 38863528 "The registry value you're looking for exists in the INETRES.admx file:"

I am lost.

Thanks for your help
My point was that the default inetres.admx (IE GPO settings) contains the policy to manage the registry key you are looking for.

Ohhh, I got it. I was looking for the setting Allow Window Reuse.
Thank you so much. Sorry for the confusion.
