Samuel,
If ONLY those MS users would listen to those of us that offer
advice!!!  You don't even need a "popup blocker" (although I
do have one for my Win95 system!), all the user needs to do is
set the Options for "scripting languages" to "always ask user
for permission" or whatever the current version states.  I run
MS IE 5.01 SP2 sometimes with this option enforced...only the
popups that I need are allowed to open.  I have yet to see a
popup window that wasn't JavaScript or ActiveX driven.  If you
choose to not allow the script to run, you can simply close the
little empty browser window.
