It drives me crazy to be asked if I REALLY want to close a website, or the
website is trying to close, is that OK with me, or words something like that.
How can I disable that question. I'm sorry, I don't understand the
enable/disable options under the Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab.

You cannot disable this. This is done for security reasons and it is a good
feature, because there are morons out there who try to close your browser
without your consent. believe me, if this feature were not available it
would drive you crazy even more, seeing your browser gone all of a sudden.
just don't visit websites that try to close your browser.

Thank you Semjon. But 2 questions: 1) Is this a feature that came new with
IE7?, and 2) How do I know (before I visit) if a website will try to close my
broser and I therefore should not go there?
