Hey Bill

if you don't mind 3rd party software

www.analog-x.com and download "POW!" you will have to goto the site get the popup open POW from the taskbar icon, select the popup that you don't want anymore and you will never deal with it again.


now if you are not familiar with analog-x they have great software and it's all free!!!

hope this helped


>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.
