[THIN] Re: OT - using pop up blocker in IE 7

Hi Ronnie,

 

Try managing this using a GP setting, eg:

 

How to configure the Pop-up Blocker by using Group Policy

To configure the full Pop-up Blocker

1. Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
2. Expand User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand Windows Components, and then expand Internet Explorer.
3. Set Turn off popup management according to your desired settings. You have to update policies or restart the computer to apply changes.

To configure Pop-up Blocker per zone

1. Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
2. Expand User Configuration, expand Administrative Template, expand Windows Component, expand Internet Explorer, expand Internet Control Panel, expand Security Page, and then select a desired zone.
3. Set User Pop-up Blocker according to your desired settings. You have to update policies or restart the computer to apply changes.

regards,

 

Rick

Hi,

Have a weird one here and I'm not sure if it is by design or what.

I am allowing a user to manage pop ups i.e. they should be allowed to say always allow pop ups from this web site. Which is fine and if they open and close IE and you look the site is in the allowed list?

This list is created in the HKEY_Users..\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows\Allow  and lists them as REG_BINARY keys.

Problem is we use roaming profiles and when the user logs out it does not write this key back to the user's ntuser.dat.

I thought it was a policy setting but when I use a local profile it stays and the key is there when the user logs back in so it doesn't delete the key on log out.

Thanks

Ronnie
