After installation of “Update for Windows (KB976002)” and the next time you'll logon the Browser Choice update will start. As administrator, in some enviroments, you don't want the users of your network give the option to choose another browser for some reasons.

In this article i've added a .adm file for download and explain the registry key.

The .adm file is available for download at: http://www.virtualpimp.nl/downloads/browserchoice.adm. It's a simple GPO setting that adds a key to the clients registry to disable the Browser Choice update. It looks like this:

CLASS Machine

CATEGORY "Custom Policies"

 CATEGORY "Internet Browser Selection"
  
  POLICY "Enable Browser Selection"
 
   EXPLAIN "As set Enabled, the user will have the possibility to choose browser"
   KEYNAME "Software\BrowserChoice"
   VALUENAME "Enable"
   VALUEON NUMERIC 1
   VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0

  END POLICY

 END CATEGORY

END CATEGORY

You can also do the setting manual, make for this to work the following registry key.

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\BrowserChoice
Name: Enable
Type: DWORD
Possible values: 1 or 0

1 will show the Browser Choice update, 0 doesn't show the Browser Choice update.

PS: When you don't get the setting, you need to change the filtering settings in GPO at View -> Filtering.

You'll see the setting like this:
