Information
This policy setting prevents the user from having enclosures (file attachments) downloaded from an RSS feed to the user's computer.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled.
Rationale:
Allowing attachments to be downloaded through the RSS feed can introduce files that could have malicious intent.
Impact:
Users cannot set the Feed Sync Engine to download an enclosure through the Feed property page. Developers cannot change the download setting through feed APIs.
Solution

Enter a Name
Click Next
Configure the following Setting
Path: Computer Configuration/Windows Components/RSS Feeds
Setting Name: Prevent downloading of enclosures

Continue through the Wizard to complete the creation of the profile (profile assignments, applicability etc.)
Note: More than one configuration setting from each of the Configuration profiles (ex: Administrative Templates, Custom etc.) can be added to each Device Configuration Policy.
Default Value:
Disabled. (Users can set the Feed Sync Engine to download an enclosure through the Feed property page. Developers can change the download setting through the Feed APIs.)
