Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
When you position the mouse pointer over an image or
picture in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the image toolbar may not appear as
expected. This behavior may occur if any of the following conditions
are true:
- The image toolbar has been disabled.
-or- - The image size is less than 200 x 200 pixels.
-or- - The image is a background image.
-or- - The image is part of an image mapping (indicating some sort
of menu). If the Web page author uses the attributes USEMAP or ISMAP within the
image tag, the image toolbar does not appear.
-or- - The Web page author disables the Image Toolbar either
through a meta tag (<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">) or by
setting the attribute GALLERYIMG="no" to an IMG tag element.
Note Web page authors can enable the image toolbar for images of any
size and images that are part of an image mapping by setting the attribute
GALLERYIMG="yes" to an IMG tag element as follows:
<IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pic.jpg" GALLERYIMG="yes">
For additional information about the GALLERYIMG attribute, browse
to the following Microsoft Web site: The image toolbar is enabled by default in Internet
Explorer 6. If the image toolbar is not enabled, you can enable it in the
Internet Options dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Internet
Options.
- In the Internet Options dialog box, click
the Advanced tab.
- In the Settings list, click to select the
Enable Image Toolbar (requires restart) check box under
Multimedia, and then click OK.
This
sets the following string value to "yes" in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Enable_MyPics_Hoverbar
- Restart Internet Explorer.
Note If your corporate administrator creates a customized version of
Internet Explorer 6 and disables the image toolbar, you cannot re-enable it by
using the preceding steps. The image toolbar cannot be enabled by
users for background images, image maps, or images for which the author of the
Web page disabled this feature. To save, e-mail, or print a picture, or open
the My Pictures folder for images where the image toolbar does not appear,
right-click the picture, and then click the appropriate command on the menu
that appears. To enable the image toolbar for images smaller than 200
x 200 pixels, edit the Windows registry. To do this, follow these
steps: WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. - Quit all running programs.
- Click Start, and then click
Run.
- In the Open box, type
regedit, and then click OK.
- In Registry Editor, expand the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
- On the Edit menu, point to
New, and then click DWORD Value.
- In the New Value#1 box that appears, type
Image_Filter, and then press ENTER.
Note the
underscore (_) between Image and
Filter. - Right-click the Image_Filter entry, and
then click Modify on the shortcut menu that
appears.
- In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box that
appears, type 1 in the Value data box,
and then click OK.
- On the Registry menu, click
Exit.
- Restart Internet Explorer.
Note This procedure enables the image toolbar for images as small as
124 x 124 pixels. This
behavior is by design. The image toolbar appears when you place your mouse over an
image displayed in Internet Explorer, provided that none of the conditions in
the "Cause" section of this article are true. The image toolbar provides
buttons that allow you to save, e-mail, or print a picture, or open the My
Pictures folder. These commands are also available on the menu that appears
when you right-click a picture (even if the image toolbar is not available).
To disable the image toolbar, use the appropriate set of steps, as
follows. Disable the Image Toolbar by Using the Image Toolbar- Start Internet Explorer, and then open a Web page with
images that cause the image toolbar to appear.
- Place your mouse cursor over an image. When the image
toolbar appears, right-click it, and then click Disable Image
Toolbar.
- Click Always to disable the image toolbar
for all future browsing sessions, or click This Session to
disable the image toolbar for the current session only.
Disable the Image Toolbar by Using Internet Options- Start Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Internet
Options.
- In the Internet Options dialog box, click
the Advanced tab.
- In the Settings list, click to clear the
Enable Image Toolbar (requires restart) check box under
Multimedia, and then click OK.
This
sets the following string value to "no" in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Enable_MyPics_Hoverbar
- Restart Internet Explorer.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
