kdh344, get/use a good stopper and don't bother with checking the registry. There are many free ones, some are even GOOD! HTH. Ed in Texas.

Nick, that's good advice. However, modern browsers have this feature and many more built in to them. For example, try Mozilla or Opera -- you'll see what I mean. I personally use Mozilla Firebird, it stops pop-ups, has a Google search bar at the top of the browser and features tabbed browsing (very useful indeed).
