Windows XP SP2 Security

[Scott]

It is possible to have PWB opt into the Windows XP SP2 security features added to Internet Explorer such as the pop-up blocker. The following utility will make the required registry changes to enable the security features for PWB.

Does this work with PWB 2.04, or only with 2.06?

Hi Scott!

I was wondering, after opting into XP SP2's pop-up blocking, what happens with the built-in pop-up blocking? For instance, does the behavior of the pop-up blocking toggle button change after you've opted in? Will it just do nothing, or will it affect XP's built-in blocking? Thanks!

The PWB pop-up filter and the pop-up button work independently of the Windows XP SP2 pop-up blocker. The Windows XP SP2 pop-up blocker does take precedence over the PWB pop-up filter and pop-up button.

If you opt into the Windows XP SP2 pop-up blocker, the SP2 blocker will examine the pop-up window first then pass it onto PWB if it is allowed in the SP2 blocker, then PWB will decide if it should be shown or not.
