No confirmation window.close in IE7

[Matthew Lock]

Is there a better way than this in IE7 for an Intranet page on a
trusted site to close a non-script opened window?

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys("{ENTER}");
window.close();

Based on this:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Immediate_Close__new_try_.asp

Is there any kind of registry change that we can roll out on our LAN
that will allow window's to close themselves in Javascript for IE7?

<script type="text/javascript">
window.open('','_parent','');
window.close();
</script>

Until MS gets around to fixing it, will close IE7 without a prompt.

Thanks.

It's a pity there's no way to enable non-script opened windows to be
closed by scripts in the security settings. It would be handy for
intranets.
