Hi Stomper,
To do the same for Internet Explorer, do the following :
Step 1: In Internet Explorer go to Tools –> Internet Options and click on the security tab.
Step 2: In the security tab click on the Custom level button towards the bottom.
Step 3: In the security settings window, scroll down till you come across the Miscellaneous group and select disable in Allow META REFRESH option and click on Ok.
That’s it the auto-refreshing of the page won’t happen once you make this change.
Sorry for the delay in posting this.
Hope this helps.
