Popup Windows
Under Opening popup windows, you can specify that the contents of a popup
window must be shown in the current browser window instead of in a new
window.
Under Allowed window manipulation, you can specify what changes a web site
can make to popup windows. Some web sites try to hide the navigation bars in a
popup window so that it looks like a Windows message dialog. You can prevent
this here.
Performance
Here, you can enable the pipelining function of Mozilla Firefox. Pipelining is an
experimental function through which the web browser sends multiple download
requests to a web server over a single connection. This is not supported by all
web servers.
Communication Æ E-Mail and Chat
Outlook Express
If you use Outlook Express, you can change the text that is shown in the title bar
in this panel. You can also specify whether or not the splash screen should be
shown when Outlook Express is started.
You can also configure the security function in Outlook Express that blocks
executable e-mail attachments. If you do not wish to have such attachments
blocked, you can disable this function. Please note, however, that such
attachments may also contain malicious programs, such as a viruses, that are run
when you click them.
Office Outlook
Under Type a question for help box, you can specify whether this box is shown
in the toolbar of all Office applications.
If you want to have an Outlook icon in the notification area instead of a button
on the taskbar when the program is minimized, select Minimize Outlook to
notification area.
E-Mail Attachment Security subwindow
When Office Outlook downloads e-mails that contain attachments, it is best to
have certain attachment file types blocked automatically so that they cannot be
opened. If this is not done, you could easily activate a virus, for example, by
clicking an attachment. In some cases, however, it is sensible to disable the
blocking of individual file types.
