Smiles noted. I don't actually get to post much from work because I'm generally too busy but as it is I can't even dip in at quiet moments now...

What's the point of having a govt job if you still have to work?

The systems manager isn't even based in the same County I work in. And they enabled java to allow staff to use the internet correctly, we are supposed to avoid non-trustworthy sites.

Bah!

Suing your employers for not providing an environment where you can slack with impunity? That wouldn't even happen in America.

Anyway, just to stay on-topic, could you just click elsewhere on the screen the moment the popups appear and right-click kill them on the taskbar to prevent office passersby noticing?
Yes, it's lame, but it's the best I can think of under the circumstances you describe.

I delete the history file when I go home from work every day. You could try the same. If the IT people are running a realtime log, then that won't work though...

Look's like you need to make a few friends in the computer dept. Taz, otherwise you're buggered. I doubt Mark or Dan will lose Britney (unfortunately)

I am just glad those snow-something pop-ups are gone (maybe its somehting I did). Not long enough, everytime I switched between screens i got a new pop-up. It was frustrating and kept bringing Explorer down.

A Britney popup? All I get are gambling ads. That's hardly fair.

Oh, come on Taz, tell them the truth: tell them that you're visiting a site which covers the Civilization series of games, and it has a nice community and lots of good people whom you enjoy talking to, and that unfortunately when you access this site you always get a Britney pop-up, although you have no idea of what Britney and civilization have to do with each other.

They'll think you're just a harmless geek and they'll leave you alone.
