Well, you're welcome, but you haven't acheived anything by "expanding this
thread." In fact, all you've done by adding another newsgroup to the list
is fed your post to a new NG where nobody knows anything about your
question. Even I don't remember what it was. ;-)

Follow these steps:

Do a search in microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general for your topic of
interest.

Lurk in microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general for a while and watch the
discussions.

Make a new post to microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general and only that
NG. No, wait a minute, that's too much like that nasty multi-posting that
everybody hates. Here, I'll help you. I'm setting followups on this post to
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general. What you can do is go to that
NG, reply to my post with a description of your question, and hope someone
can satisfy your desires. I know IE7 has a popup-blocker, but that's all I
know about it.

GL. HTH.
