Here's how you do it... 1) open Internet Explorer and Go to TOOLS and then INTERNET OPTIONS. 2) Click the SECURITY tab, move the slider up to HIGH and click APPLY. This applies the highest security settings to IE, which blocks EVERYTHING, including JavaScript, Applets and so on that pop-ups are based upon. The catch is this... Some places like online banks and other web sites need these functions to work properly... So you'll need to re-enable one important thing.. 1) Go to TOOLS and then INTERNET OPTIONS. 2) Click the SECURITY tab, CUSTOM LEVEL, scroll down to SCRIPTING, and under ACTIVE SCRIPTING, select the ENABLE radio button. 3) Click APPLY and you're pretty much done.

Another cool feature of Windows XP Professional's NTFS file system is its ability to encrypt files. Permissions on files and folders work well to protect them when the operating system is running. However, if special software and hardware are used, the raw data can be accessed on the hard drive. With the absence of the operating system running to protect its data, anyone can very easily lift the data off the drive no matter what permissions were set on the file. Such software and hardware is usually expensive and primarily used by data recovery companies and law enforcement agencies. To protect your computer's files and folders from conventional recovery methods, you can encrypt the files. Doing so will scramble and encode the data within the files so that the only data lifted off the hard drive with recovery tools when the operating system is not running will be scrambled garbage. Encrypting files is not just for personal use. If you work for a company that has very se...
