Keep in mind that most popup blockers will only blog new browser windows from opening - they won't stop DHTML advertisements such as fly-ins, etc. that may appear to be popups but really aren't.
Problem 1
Pop-up blocker option missing under Tools menu in Internet Explorer 6.0 in Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002
Reason: This is due to a restriction set in the registry or via Group Policy Editor in Windows XP Professional.
Solution
To get the Pop-up Blocker menu (and the Pop-up Management functionality) back, try this:
Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Restrictions
-and-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Restrictions
In the right-pane, double-click NoPopupManagement if exists, and set it to 0
Close Registry Editor
New Problem
I don't have the above keys!
