I may be missing something here but when WinXP SP2 was installed on all
the PCs at work, all it seemed to block were ("popup") windows that opened
automatically (i.e. "onLoad"). A link that requires a click, such as:
<a href="http://google.com/"; onclick="window.open(this.href,
'popupwindow','width=400,height=300,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
return false;">Google</a>
seems to work just fine.
