It there a way to manipulate the settings of the IE popup blocker
in XP SP2 to allow popups for specific web sites
Under "User Configuration" and
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer
see setting
"Pop-up allow list"
"This policy setting allows you to manage a list of web sites that
will be allowed to open pop-up windows regardless of the Internet
Explorer process's Pop-Up Blocker settings. If you enable this
policy setting, you can enter a list of sites which will be allowed
to open pop-up windows regardless of user settings. Users will not
be able to view or edit this list of sites. Only the domain name is
allowed, so
www.contoso.com is valid, but not
http://www.contoso.com.
Wildcards are allowed, so *.contoso.com is also valid. If you
disable this policy setting, the list is deleted and users may not
create their own lists of sites. If this policy is not configured,
users will be able to view and edit their own lists of sites."
or to turn it off and turn it on through the GPO?
Under "User Configuration" and
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer
see setting
"Turn off pop-up management"
"This policy setting allows you to manage pop-up management
functionality in Internet Explorer. If you enable this policy
setting, the Control Panel information relating to pop-up
management will be unavailable (grayed out) and all other pop-up
manager controls, notifications, and dialog boxes will not appear.
Pop-up windows will continue to function as they did in Windows XP
Service Pack 1 or earlier, although windows launched off screen
will continue to be re-positioned onscreen. If you disable or do
not configure this policy setting, the popup management feature
will be functional."
