Disable Save this program to disk

[[Prevents users from saving a program or file that Microsoft Internet
Explorer has downloaded to the hard disk.
If you enable this policy, users cannot save a program to disk by clicking
the Save This Program to Disk command while attempting to download a file.
The file will not be downloaded and users will be informed that the command
is not available.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can download

Disable customizing browser toolbars

[[Prevents users from determining which toolbars are displayed in Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.
If you enable this policy, the list of toolbars, which users can display by
clicking the View menu and then pointing to the Toolbars command, will
appear dimmed.
If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can determine which
toolbars are displayed in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.
This policy can be used in coordination with the "Disable customizing
browser toolbar buttons" policy, which prevents users from adding or
removing toolbars from Internet Explorer.]]
