Pop-Up Blocker In IE7

Posted by on Dec 29, 2006 | One Comment

Once you install IE7, you get the functionality of a pop-up blocker without having to download any third party software. The Pop-up Blocker is automatically enabled IE7 so most pop-ups should be blocked on your computer.

You can change the settings of the Pop-up Blocker within Internet Explorer by clicking Tools, pointing to Pop-Up Blocker, and selecting Pop-up Blocker Settings. From the dialog box that appears, you can configure IE to allow pop-ups from the Web sites that you specify. You can do this by typing in the URL of the Web site and clicking Add.

Under the Notification and Filter Level, you can configure Internet Explorer to play a sound and show the Information bar when a pop-up is blocked. You can also use the drop-down arrow to change the Filter Level.

    I just upgraded to IE7.

    Now I can no longer save inserted or embedded photos in my OE emails by right clicking the photo. I get a window that reads, “The system cannot find the file specified”.

    I can save “attachments” as normal but not an inserted photo.

    Is there a setting I can change to be able to save from an email as before I had IE7?

    Thanks,
    Joan
