    This is the standard answer that every “expert” gives. It seems logical that it should work.

    But it does not work! At least not on my system, IE 8.0.6001, XP Pro with all updates.

    Is there a real “expert” who can give a real solution. Or is there a solution? Other than just immediately leaving such an offensive website?

    do you have to reboot the machine after changing setting.
