Overriding Pop up Blocker Settings in IE

The new Popup Blocker feature of Internet Explorer 6.0 provided in Windows XP SP2 is really good one. Even though it helps in blocking useless windows while browing on internet, sometimes it block useful windows initiated by trusted webpages also. I used to get really frustrated when emptying Hotmail or Yahoo Junk Mail folders as it used to block the confirmation window.
You can set Temporarily Allow Pop ups but its really irritating at times. Also you can set the Always Allows Pop up From This Site, but what if u dont want to switch that on and decide at run time?
Yes there is a way to overcome this by holding Cntrl Key, If you want the popup window to appear then press Control Key--> Hold it and then --> Click the URL you wish to... thats it:), it overrides the popup blocker settings and allows you to see the intended window initiated by the URL.
