Everyone is familiar with hitting web sites which automatically launch advertisements in new browser windows, usually behind the main window so you see them after closing/minimizing the main browser window or seeing them pop up on the Taskbar. I personally find it quite irritating but just ignore it and close the windows.

I have been asked by a manager here if there is some way to override these windows popping up, even if by some programmatic method on our end. I honestly looked at him like he had four heads, antennae sticking out of each end head, cause I just didn't know and off the top of my one head I couldn't see any way to whack them ( the windows popping up, not the heads :-) ). I suppose turning off some level of active scripting might do it but, of course, that whacks a lot of things that you need to happen.

Does anyone know of a method to accomplish this???

Thanks,
Bill
