Couldn't figure out which forum to put this in, figure putting it here would be the place least likely to get me yelled at :)
Anybody know how to make IE not let websites add their links to your favorites folder?
Also, some websites change my freakin' homepage!
I got PopUp Killer to take care most of the problems, but these still persist.
And yes, these problems are most often encountered when browsing ~nasty~ sites.

Thanks.

Try disabling javascrip and activex controls.

That will tighten up IE, but a lot of more legitimate sites won't work as well probably.

Bummer, I was hoping for a way to do this without limiting the functionality of the browser.
Urgh.
