It is possible to configure both Teacher Resources and the Management Console to display a preset web page URL in the browser, instead of opening the default mail client, when any of the email icons are selected in Teacher Resources. Some schools have found this particularly useful in Teacher Resources as it can simplify teachers' classroom access to email.

Access to this facility requires only that the mail server's URL be specified in the appropriate group policy setting. Information on achieving this can be found in the 'how to enable web mail in Teacher Resources' document.

The relative inflexibility of group policy when setting multiple multi-optioned values in a single policy setting does make the Window Guard less straightforward to configure than other policy options. Once understood, configuring the Window Guard is reasonably easy, however care should be taken when assigning an action value, to ensure the desired effect is achieved. For detailed instructions regarding configuring this feature please review the Window Guard document.
