Internet Explorer 6 - Windows XP Service Pack 2

Allow Certain Sites to Pop-up Windows

SUMMARY: Force Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP Service Pack 2 to not block pop-up windows from certain websites.


 

If you have Internet Explorer 6's Pop-up Blocker enabled, you may run across sites, such as financial, commercial, or intranet sites, that require pop-up windows to display forms, e-mail, menus, or whatever. If so, you can tell Internet Explorer 6 to allow these sites to display pop-up windows while keeping them disabled for other sites.

1. From Internet Explorer 6, Click "Tools".
2. Select "Pop-Up Blocker".
3. Select "Pop-up Blocker Settings".
4. When the "Pop-up Blocker Settings" dialog box appears, type in a website address underneath "Address of Web site to allow". Only enter the host name, not the full path, i.e. http://www.malektips.com
5. Click the "Add" button.
6. Press "Close" to close the dialog box.

If you later wish to remove a site from the exceptions list:

1. From Internet Explorer 6, Click "Tools".
2. Select "Pop-Up Blocker".
3. Select "Pop-up Blocker Settings".
4. When the "Pop-up Blocker Settings" dialog box appears, select a site name from "Allowed sites".
5. Press the "Remove" button.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 as desired.
7. Press "Close" to close the dialog box.
