[Mccoypottery-talk] OT re: pop-up windows, was: About.com

If you want to close a window before it finishes loading, you first need to 
click on the 'X' --- the "stop" button. I use a current version of 
Netscape. I have it set (in the preferences) to not load pop-up windows. 
Before I had that feature, I would use Crtl-W (or was it Alt-W  ?)  to 
quickly/automatically close a pop-up window --- no need to use the mouse. 
Although I don't know a lot about software, I'm sure this would work with 
IE, too. (I don't think the Ctrl-W thing has anything to do with a specific 
browser. I think it works with any/all windows).
