can someone rephrase this below sentence so that the user can easily understand the below line
" Please turn off the pop up blocker by going to tools option > pop up blocker > turn off pop up blocker in the browser and try again"
“We are still using pop-up windows, even though they're a usability disaster that everyone hates, and for some reason we're still trying to launch them without direct user interaction.
Because we are too lazy to make our site conform to the requirements of every modern web browser, we humbly request that you change your global browser settings. This will allow any web page to flood your desktop with unwanted browser spam, making your experience on the public internet intolerably awful. But it's worth it, right?”
(In reality, if you really must, provide a simple link that the user can click on to attempt to open the pop-up again. Every browser's default settings allow clicked links to open a pop-up. The user's settings need not and should not be changed.)
From your "here we use only IE" it looks like your on an intranet and stuck with something difficult/impractical to change.
An appropriate message would be;
This site uses Pop-up windows which are disabled in your browser.
To enable Pop-up windows please do the following:
From the Tools menu, click "Pop-up Blocker"
Click "Pop-up Blocker Settings"
In the "Address of website to allow" box enter your.site.com
Click Add then Close

Not sure why but since recently, the Slack icon in bottom right notification area (Windows 10) isn't visible anymore despite Slack app being checked in "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" section. Consequently I need to keep Slack open at all times in my app bar (which I don't want because it's crowded).
Any idea what's causing the problem here?
Additionally, every time there is a Slack client app update, you have to go into the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" in Windows 10 to turn on the "new" icon. It seems this changes when the application is updated.
Update on August 5th, 2018. This issue has been around for nearly two years. I sent them this message on the 'help' issue I first submitted 19 months ago:
People,
This issue has persisted for over a year, and a Slack update this morning did the same thing - the icon is in the notification overflow window, instead of on the taskbar. If there is one application that MUST always be visible in the taskbar, it is Slack, and you keep falling down on this basic requirement.
Clearly, with every Slack client update, the operating system thinks it's a new app (with a new GUID or whatever the nomenclature is), so defaults to the notification icon being in the overflow. This is on you. No other application that uses notification icons does this after an update. None. Okay, maybe not none, but I have never encountered another one, and I am a super geek.
It also doesn't help, that after a client update, the old client runs until exited (as the taskbar icon remains visible), but on the next launch, the icon goes into the overflow. So it might appear to the uninformed that the Slack client update didn't trigger the problem, but it did.
Seriously, you need to mark this as important. It only takes about 10 seconds for us users to change the setting on the new icon, after we discover it's missing. But that 10 seconds is multiplied by the number of users who want that icon to stay visible, for every update. That is a LOT of wasted time.
In Windows 10, you have to right-click on the tray (the area you referred to as "notification area") to be able to customize which icons are visible, choose Properties, and then click the Customize button.
From here, click “Select which icons appear on the taskbar”. Enabled items will show permanently on the tray bar.
Here you have a step-by-step guide to solve this issue.
Keep in mind, however, that the you also have to enable the option to "leave the application running in the notification bar" from Slack, as pointed out by Somnath Muluk
At some point my slack icon disappeared from the taskbar, and it turned out it was in the hidden icons popover(triggered by the arrow on the left of the icons list). I was able to put it back on the taskbar by simply dragging it there from the popover.
When Slack is running, you’ll find a Slack icon in your notifications area. You'll see a blue dot when you have unread activity on one of your Slack teams, and a red dot when you've received a mention, announcement, or direct message.
Click your team name to open the Team Menu.
Select Preferences.
Click to the Windows App tab.
Check the Leave app running in notification area when the window is closed option.
From Preferences, you can also choose how you want the Slack icon to flash in the taskbar when a notification is received: Never, When left idle, or Always.
Note: The icon will stay in the taskbar if your preference is set to Always flash when a notification is received.
Reference: App icon notifications
I found the setting in File > Preferences > Windows App: "Leave app running in notification area when the window is closed" to be opposite of what I expected. When I unchecked the option, the icon appeared in the notification area. Once the icon appeared I could adjust the Notification Preferences to "Show icon and notifications".

This is a simple thing but I don't see it in settings.
So, I'm in my new Mac, working in a program like Safari or Firefox. I have a window in the background for another program, and it has a button. I want to click that button but have to click twice, once to switch programs and once to click the button.
I want my mouse to be "hotter" than that. Is there any way to do this?
Somewhat useful: you can hold Command and click to a non-focused window. The click will go through, however, the window will not get focus. It's useful if you have a partially covered window in the background, and you want to keep it that way, while clicking it.
BUT, if you have two windows side by side, which are not covered, it is UTTERLY frustrating that you have to click TWICE every time you want interact with them interchangeably. It would be really nice if there was an option to disable this "feature"...
This is called click-through, and guidelines for its usage are covered in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. By default, all Cocoa controls support click-through and the feature must be turned off by the software developer. Some reasons to turn it off are covered in the Guidelines:
Avoid providing click-through for an item or action whose result might be dangerous or undesirable. Specifically, avoid enabling click-through for an item that:
Performs a potentially harmful action that users can’t cancel (for example, the Delete button in Mail)
Performs an action that is difficult or impossible to cancel (such as the Send button in Mail)
Dismisses a dialog without telling the user what action was taken (for example, the Save button in a Save dialog that overwrites an existing file and automatically dismisses the dialog)
Removes the user from the current context (for example, selecting a new item in a Finder column that changes the target of the Finder window)
To answer the actual question: No. There is no global setting for this. While it could be possible for an individual application to implement settings for itself, it's not something that I've seen.
Edit: To answer the other part of the question, is there any way to do this?, the answer is sort of. If you search for Mac focus follows mouse or Mac sloppy focus, you'll find some utilities such as Zooom/2 that focuses on each window as the mouse passes over. That is something that would annoy some people, but may work for you.

While using Mac OS, its very useful to use "Search with Google" tool in context menu to directly search selected text from error windows or other content:
But problem is, that it always open Safari by default. I have Google Chrome as default browser, but it makes no sense.
Does anyone know how to force this option open in Google Chrome instead of Safari?
The OP is not using the context menu in Chrome, and does not have the "Search Google for...." option.
The "Search with Google" entry is provided by Safari and won't work with another browser to my knowledge.
The closest thing that I found in my journey to provide the same desire was to create a service of your own using Automator.
Instructions:
Open Automator and choose Service as the type
Add a "Run Shell Script" action by dragging it to the right pane
Add script
open "http://www.google.com/search?q=$(ruby -rcgi -e 'print CGI.escape $<.read.chomp')"
Adjust the TLD as needed for your country specific Google page.
ex: http://www.google.co.in/search?q=
Save the service as "Search Google"
Activate the service in System Preferences and optionally assign a keyboard shortcut. Once activated, "Search Google" will appear in the context menu
Be sure to choose "Search Google for..." near the top of the list in the right-click dialog box. If you choose "Search with Google" (near the bottom) it's still going to open Safari.

Ok i specify:
My problem is that I want to assign a keyboardshortcut for Dreamweaver CS4 and I have it like this: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\Dreamweaver.exe" Thats ok so far.
But when I press the key it doesn't place itself infront of everything else like Outlook and Visual Studio does, instead it blinks in the taskbar, and I have to click there anyway to get back to Dreamweaver.
Is there any switch or something I can assign for Dreamweaver to get back AND have it "popup?"
OR some coding with the window title property that fixes this?
The Win32 API has a function for enumerating all top level windows on the desktop - EnumWindows ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633497(VS.85).aspx ). Using the enumerated window handle with the Win32 API GetWindowText call ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633520(VS.85).aspx ) would get you that information.
I am unfamiliar with the C# based methods, but I expect there is a similar way there too.
But you did not specify enough information really, what language/tool are you trying to do this within?
Windows tries very hard to prevent applications from shoving themselves in the foreground. For some reason Windows thinks that CS4 is trying to move itself to the foreground and instead of stealing the focus from the current app in the foreground, it's flashing the icon for the app to let you know that it needs attention.
