Javascript protocol - sp2

[Guest]

Hello,

Before sp2 on windows XP professional if i type something like

javascript:document.write('hello');void(document.close())

into the address bar of IE and I selected add to favorites it would add the
javascript url to my favorites. NOW with sp2 if I do the same it adds the
address of the last html website I visited.

Basically, I believe sp2 somehow changed the association of the javascript
protocol.

Try this start->run and type "http://www.google.com" and a browser window
will
pop-up
with sp1 if you try start->run and typed "javascript:alert("hello world");"
you
would get a pop-up alert saying "hello world" with sp2 you get nothing!

Please Help!!

Thanks

For the 2nd part, that's true. Similar info here:

Homepage section, after upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2 ?:

cleaver work-around.

However this is not exactly what I would like to do.

Does anybody know how to bypass the setting that does not allow javascript
to be a valid protocol?

thank you
