+  - To install
+  * Navigate to Start > Run: gpedit.msc.
+  * Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates.
+  * Right-click Administrative Templates, and select Add/Remove Templates.
+  * Add the ''chrome.adm'' template via the dialog.
+Once complete, a Google / Google Chrome folder will appear under Administrative Templates if it's not already there. If you added the ADM template on Windows 7 or Server 2012 R2, it will appear under Local Computer Policy, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Classic Administrative Templates / Google / Google Chrome.
+:!: Two common features to **disable** are ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' and ''Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is close''.
