Well two things you can do..
The ones that popup on the right side of the page(s) are NOT true popups, they are
images that are with the web pages(s) like the one you will see on HotMail..and others..
You can download a small file called Toggle Images.exe and it will do just that,,
it runs under IE only..
and will be in the Links item at the top when you put the file in place...
It will turn OFF all images and I use it all the time, you will see the text items
but not the (popups/images anywhere on the web page)
It's a old file 30kb 9/29/1997 after you have downloaded the file put it in the
Favorites/Links folder then open IE and you will see it in the LINKS item at the
top menu in IE..
Note****this file will will work on all IE ver. and make your browser FLY because
you are not taking the time to load all the images and when you want to see them
just click on it and they will come up with a reload current page...
You can also download FireFox that has a good popup blocker with it but it still
can't stop the ones on the right that are with the web pages(s) but will block most
of them..
Hope this helps a bit with the dam popups
Happy New Year :>)
