Edit Tips

  • If you don't know what this article meant by the "Gears" button or you're not running Internet Explorer 8 or 9, you can press and release the Alt key on your keyboard and click "Tools" then click "Internet Options" instead. It'll achieve the same task setup.
  • Each version of Internet Explorer has it's own special wording for turning off the Pop-up Blocker. The wording above is for Internet Explorer 9. However, no matter what browser you have (from Internet Explorer 7 and up), the tab for turning it on and off is the same.
