Damn Links Toolbar

[High_Jumbllama]

Hmm, quickstart. Wasting resources with a memory resident program to start another program. Not preferable.

I gave up trying to find the registry entry. I delved into regions of the registry that were not meant for man, woman, nor beast. It is scary in there.

Edit:
Are you using an Administartor or user account? Do your user accounts have permission to access the registry?

UtwigMU,

I have reduced the number of TSR's on my machine to the bare minimum. I shan't be adding an opensource bootloader. No no no.

Hmmm I don't know why but... I can turn Links off!

Gurm what version of IE are you using? I also have got the links bar switched off. I've got IE 6.0.26. Don't know what everyone (or for that matter you) are using. Again, I just right clicked it and turned it off.

I'm having the same annoyance. It only appears though on windows that IE creates itself. And then not on everyone of them. I just got used to it.

Thop:

Windows IE creates itself? (Microsoft finally got control of our computers or something? ) You mean pop-up? Or link opens in external window?

Lets say: The ones i didn't ask for.

[UtwigMU]

google toolbar offers basic popup blocking.

[Gurm]

No no. Not "popups", but rather... for example, "You have a new private message at MURC forums, would you like to open it in a new window?"

THOSE windows. Or the "enter a phrase, hit search, and the results will appear in a new window".

I guarantee you that those of you who THINK you have links turned off, will still see it in those windows.

They are VBScript or JavaScript message boxes. Is that what you are referring to Gurm?

Edit: just re-read you Gurm. You mean windows that pop up as the result of actively clicking on a link that has just a plain "target=_blank" bit in the HTML tag, or even when you right-click on a link and select "Open Link in New Window"...

Nope, don't get the links bar in my new windows from those... using IE5 here.

[Gurm]

GNEP:

Yeah, this seems to be an IE6 innovation. It was better for a while.

[GNEP]

Fair enough.

Well, actually no.

I almost always use Opera, but I did try this in IE (latest version on XP sp1) and I don´t get any links bar, so I guess I must be doing something wrong
(I noticed however that IE wants to connect to PayPal at every click. Opera doesn´t.)
