Here it goes...
As most of you probably know, MS is coming out with SP2 for
Windows XP.... most of the times i would careless, but this
time i read the release file... and i was startled by this...
"restricts two types of script-initiated windows that have
been used by malicious persons to deceive users: popup
windows (which do not have components such as the
address bar, title bar, status bar, and toolbars) and windows
that include the title bar and status bar."
Internet Explorer Window Restrictions (SP2)
Basically, since users probably wont know or even think of
turning this feature off... you will NEVER be able to use this
command again... no more custom sized pop up windows or
anything...
My Plea is this.... we need to contact MS.... via phone,
email, anything... we need to let them know that this change
is the worst mistake ever.... here is their phone number and
contact page....
