I need to disable spell check in Google Chrome on our terminal servers. I have setup the group policies but the only setting I can find is for SpellCheckServiceEnabled which isn't the spell check, its just whether the spell check can search the net.

I haven't been able to find a registry setting, or a config file to update either. Also no command line options.

Has anyone been able to turn off spell check in chrome with group policy?

Can this be added as an update to the ADMX?


Thanks

You can probably create an extension that does that (adds spellcheck="false" to <html> of any page).

That is is a good idea. This is for an intranet application so I can get the developers to put that into their code rather than making an extension. That way it will also work if they use a  different browser.

There is no GPO policy for turning off spell checking.
