fixing IE pop up size for the admin console

I met a guy in Cupertino when 4.0 came out, and just bumped into him again at a 4.1 event in San Jose. While we were poking around the admin console on a VS he showed me where to allow Vocera to control the size of the pop ups so you can see helpful buttons like "Save" or "Save and Continue" without scrolling.

My test box is a fresh install XP Pro sp2 with IE 6.0 (VS 4.0 is running on box) and you can see we have the issue by default:

- Open Internet Explorer, click Tools, and Internet Options.

- Go to the Security tab, highlight Internet, click Custom Level

- Find the parameter "Allow script initiated windows without size or position constraints" and choose Enable.

- OK, Yes, OK, then close the browser.

Next time you open up the Admin Console the pop up windows should open at the size Vocera wants to give you instead of what MS thinks you should get.
