Remarks
The disabledValue element is an optional element. If you use the disabledValue element when defining a policy element, you must define one child element: delete element, decimal element, or string element. If not, the Group Policy Object Editor will display an error.
If you do not use the disabledValue element when defining a policy element, the Group Policy Object Editor may incorrectly display whether a policy setting is enabled, disabled or not configured through the UI.
