If this policy is enabled, the Open tabs check box is automatically selected in the Import browser data dialog box. If this policy is disabled, open tabs are not imported at first run, and users cannot import them manually. If this policy is not configured, open tabs are imported at first run, and users can choose whether to import them manually during later browsing sessions.
