IE Popup

[Champak]

I searched for "popup" in the title, so if I missed something, please point me to it.

I am using IE object like "$oIE = _IECreate("",0,0)", but that is causing pop-up windows sometimes. I know I can set up a loop to close these windows, but I would prefer that they never appeared in the first place. So unless I missed a way to do it through autoit, is there a way to communicate with IE settings in the background and activate the pop-up blocker option (without showing dialogs/windows) before navigating to the page?

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_WEBOC_POPUPMANAGEMENT

Value: iexplorer.exe

Set the value to 1 to block 0 to unblock.

Searching around I found this about the pop up blocker...

Click me

Its about different methods of enabling the blocker... it does have a registry key. Hope that helps a little at least

EDIT: Doh! too late

Actually, that's wrong, but you guys set me in the write direction searching the registry, thanks. The right one...that I'm looking for... is:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\New Windows", "PopupMgr", "REG_DWORD", 1)

However, I'll probably use the one you guys provided as an addition to this. What you should note, is on the link you provided it says, "but the pop-up windows that are opened by a user will still open in the usual manner."

Also, I'm using IE7, could someone confirm if both these registries exist in v6 and maybe 5?
