Specify list of social network providers to load

This policy setting determines the list of social network providers that are loaded by the Outlook Social Connector.

If you enable this policy setting, you may enter a list of provider progIDs of social network providers that will be loaded by the Outlook Social Connector. This list needs to be semi-colon delimited. Note that if you enable this policy setting, only social network providers that are on this list will be loaded by the Outlook Social Connector. No other social network providers will be loaded.

If you disable or you do not configure this policy setting, the Outlook Social Connector can load any provider specified by the user.
