Administrator template throws back to login form

For a long time I've had a problem with Mambo 4.5.x/Joomla 1.0.x throwing me out of the Administrator panel into the Admin login screen. This would happen after trying to access any of the Admin Panel items just after successful login. I couldnt update my sites for 6 months!

I am using IE6.

The solution to this seems to be the "Block Pop-ups" setting in IE6. At some point I enable this feature and didnt include my Mambo/Joomla sites in the exceptions list.

I have just added my sites to the list of "Block Pop-ups" exceptions in IE6 and now everything now works fine in the Administrator panel.

NB: I cant be 100% sure because I also changed a couple of other IE6 options at the same time - mostly allow debugging type things. Either way IE6 settings is definitely the culprit.
