At last the solution:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions]

  a.. In the right-pane, double-click NoPopupManagement if exists, and set
it to 0 (REG_DWORD) if exists.

  b.. Close Registry Editor and restart Internet Explorer

Thanks Ramesh, this was driving me off the deep end!

It made no difference, even after I rebooted.  Win XP SP2 is installed.
I tried everything in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=843016 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843017
But on the Tools menu, there is no Pop-up Blocker
And on  Tools, Internet Options, Privacy tab, I cannot click Block pop-up
windows, it is grayed out.
I have made the suggested registry changes, and still cannot access the
pop-up blocker!
What next???
