-### Windows Group Policies
+### Windows Group Policy & Registry
 
-It is possible to force settings by defining group policies on Microsoft
-Windows.
+Since extension version 7.1.8 it is possible to set the configuration using the system registy, which can be applied via group policies on Microsoft
+Windows. 
 
-The whitelist is stored internally as a string, with one URL per line.
+The whitelist consists of a list of domains seperated by a space char, without http:// or https:// E.G:
+```
+domain1.com www.domain2.com sub.domain3.com
+```
+

+`\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\EXTENSION_ID\policy`
