Internet Explorer's Pop-up Blocker
Since upgrading to Windows XP, Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer has a built in pop-up blocker. It appears as a yellow bar under the web address you are looking at when a pop-up window tries to open.
When you click on the yellow bar, options on how to handle this pop-up are given:
- Temporarily Allow Pop-ups
- Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site...
- Settings
- Information Bar Help
Temporarily Allow Pop-ups is only valid for the current session and for the current web page. Pop-up blocker resets when you go to another web page or close Internet Explorer.
Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site... sets the current web page as an exception to the pop-up blocker.
Settings and selecting More Settings..., you can view the web pages that are set up as an exception to the pop-up blocker and other settings.
A second way to access the pop-up blocker settings in Internet Explorer is from the Tools menu. On the Tools Menu select Pop-up Blocker for easy access to turn off pop-up blocker or get to more advanced settings to customize it.
