Oh, I see. You're talking about the MS Web based newsgroup site. Yeah, I'd
guess you might have to set that feature to prompt if you want to access the
posts. I guess they originate from different domains. :-) This aspect will
not bother me as far as this issue goes; I don't use the Website to access
these newsgroups, but rather prefer Outlook Express to provide that
function. You should try it...you'd like it.

I admit, I went there and tried and it is just as you've said. As to what
other negative effects may occur, I don't know. I've ventured to a multitude
of sites and strangely (or not so strangely?) the MS site is the first to
have balked. Will you say it or shall it be me? "Typical"! ;-D

Which sites? Well this site that I'm posting from is one
example. Had to undo the change to view any posts. But
it's no biggie I was just trying it out and clearly
there's some disadvantages to disabling that feature in
the security tab. Each to their own I guess And yes
my win98se is fully updated too...

Which sites and what posts? Obviously this one wasn't
affected. I've not
experienced any problems whatsoever. But if you feel you
have some issues
with it, simply undo the change, and see if things clear
up for you. I mean
it isn't like having installed an un-removable patch.
Using W98SE here
*fully updated* right up through todays' Windows Critical
update KB870669.

I just tried what you said on my IE6sp1 in the security
tab and after doing that I wasn't able to view posts and
certain newsgroups and forum sites.
