Image Toolbar
You can use the Image toolbar in Internet Explorer to quickly and
easily save pictures, print pictures, and send pictures in e-mail
messages or view all of your saved pictures in the My Pictures folder.
When you point to pictures in Internet Explorer, the Image toolbar
appears to provide you with instant access to My Pictures functions.
NOTE : The Image toolbar does not appear for all images. The
image must be at least 200 by 200 pixels and not part of an image map
or a background image. Web page authors can also disable the Image
toolbar for images that are embedded in a Web page. For additional
information about why the Image toolbar may not appear when you point
to pictures in Internet Explorer, click the article number below to

The Image toolbar includes buttons to save an image, print an
image, send an image in an e-mail message, or open the My Pictures
folder.
How to Enable or Disable
the Image Toolbar
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the
Tools menu.
- On the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Multimedia
section.
- Click to clear (disable) or click to select (enable) the
Enable Image Toolbar (requires restart)
check box.
- Click OK .
Automatic Image Resizing
If you open pictures directly that are too large to display in
your browser window, automatic resizing makes them fit. With this
feature, you do not need to scroll horizontally or vertically to
view large pictures. In addition, if you view pictures that fit
within the browser window and then change the window size, Internet
Explorer automatically adjusts the pictures to fit the new window
size. To prevent image distortion, Internet Explorer also adjusts
both the picture height and width (even if only a single dimension
needs adjusting).
NOTE : Automatic Image Resizing only works for images that
are directly opened in Internet Explorer. Images that are embedded
in a Web page are not resized.
The Automatic Image Resizing icon appears in the
lower-right corner of any picture that has been automatically
resized to fit in the browser window. To expand a resized picture to
its original size or resize the image to fit in the browser window,
click the Automatic Image Resizing icon in the lower-right
corner of the picture.
How to Enable or Disable
Automatic Image Resizing
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the
Tools menu.
- On the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Multimedia
section.
- Click to clear (disable) or click to select (enable) the
Enable Automatic Image Resizing
check box.
- Click OK
