    What do the different icons mean in the Local Group Policy Editor?


    While I was checking a setting for timeout to lockscreen, I noticed there was a different icon on one of the settings:On Machine inactivity limit there is a PC / printer icon, while the rest are just binary or something. I was wondering what this means?We've been having some problems with applying a policy for this and I'm wondering if this icon difference has something to do with it.

    :)
