Using Pop-up
Blocker (Windows XP
SP2)
When you install
SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet
Explorer and set to the medium setting, which means
it will block most automatic pop-ups. The default
settings for the pop-up blocker allow you to see
pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or
button on a Web site. Pop-up Blocker will also play
a sound and show the Information Bar when a pop-up
is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that
Pop-up Blocker works the way you want it to.
