s/windowsa/windows/.

Also I would extend a little bit the second sentence into a paragraph on its own
by stating with something like. "This policy does not decide which pages to be
opened on start up. They are controlled by ...."

Done.

+          The NewTabPageLocation can be set to a URL you specify here. It will also affect the Home Page if it is set to open the New Tab page, as well as the startup page if set to New Tab page.

Add one more sentence below or above this one. e.g. "If the policy is not set or
left empty the default new tab page is used." It is a MS recommendation for the
policy documentation to always state explicitly the default behavior when the
policy is not set.
