Ok, this is kinda weird. I just got back from a week's vacation and before I left, I set up a GPO to enable the new pop-up blocker. I also had found a place where I could list web sites that I wanted to allow pop-ups on.

Now however, I can't find where I designated which sites should be allowed to have pop-ups. I can open Group Policy Management and see under "Settings" the web sites I allowed pop-ups on. They're listed under "Extra Registry Settings", which has a note saying:
Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management.
I can't find this setting in the GPO though. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spot. But it WAS there before. Any ideas?


BTW, I posted this on the XP Pro forum because it's SP2-related. I suppose if necessary I could post it on the Win2k Server forum.

 
Have a look for "Pop-up allow list" under Internet Explorer in the Group Policy.
 
Thank you linney! I shouldn't have tried to think so hard right after vacation. I figured it'd be in the same place that you enable the pop-up blocker.

 
Isn't it easier to simply go to Internet Explorer/Tools/Pop-up Blocker/Pop-up Blocker Settings... ?
 
Not if you want it set for every computer in a domain.
