Windows Annoyances: Top 2

| Grrrrrr!!!!! Actually, these are both I.E. annoyances.
There MUST be a way to stop these:
1. Stupid, idiotic, collapsed menus! If I don't "use" a particular menu item
enough in I.E., it collapses. I've asked about this before, and I stopped it
happening on the Start Menu, but I.E. still does it! Grrrr!
2. Moronic, annoying, stupid I.E. windows popping to the top when they are
finished downloading. Let's say you've got two browser windows open because
you are really impatient and you think you can save time by browsing two
different websites at once. You click a link on one, and flip over to the
other to continue reading. You point to a link, and just before you click
it, POP! The other window finishes downloading, pops up, and you
accidentally click the link on THAT one instead! Double-grrrrrrr!!!!

Try Crazy Browser. It's a free download at http://www.crazybrowser.com/.
It takes a little getting used to, but it includes full menus, does a great
job of stopping pop-ups and has a nice collection of special features.

Without sounding too harsh, I wonder how one of those rescued miners
will feel the next time that this happens to him...
