This walk through will show you how to enable / disable the built-in pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer 10.
Some Web pages automatically open new pop-up windows. This is sometimes useful, but often annoying. By default, Internet Explorer 10 will block pages from opening pop-up windows without your approval, and this is usually the preferred setting.
If you have IE10 open from the desktop in Windows 8 or Windows 7, skip to step 2 now.
If you have IE10 open in the Windows 8 Start Menu view, perform the following steps:
- Right click in an open space within IE10
- A slider bar will slide up from the bottom
- Click the wrench icon
- Select View on the desktop
