Show Internet Explorer Image Toolbar for Smaller Images

SUMMARY: Force the Internet Explorer image toolbar to appear when you hover your mouse pointer over all images.

By default, in Internet Explorer 6, when you hover your mouse pointer over an image of at least 200 pixels, an image toolbar will appear allowing you to save, print, or email the image. However, if you'd like the image toolbar to appear for smaller images:

1. Download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP.

2. When the "Tweak UI" window appears, click "Internet Explorer" in the left pane to expand the menu.

3. Click "Image Toolbar".

4. In the right pane, next to "Minimum image size", make this number as small as desired. Lower this all the way to 1 and even 1 pixel "spy" images will cause an image toolbar to be displayed if you hover the mouse pointer.

5. When done, click "OK" to close the dialog box.
