I encountered a workstation that has SP2 on it just this morning. It's 
administered by another campus group, so I don't know much about it 
myself. Indeed, the pop-up blocking software is there in IE6 for SP2. It 
was blocking the add-to-basket  functionality in our web OPAC and 
causing all sorts of grief for a user who wasn't informed it was there 
and enabled. Once I found it, I was able to readily allow pop-ups for 
our website.
