you could always RTFM or:

tools > internet options > advanced > multimedia > [ ] enable image
toolbar

let me know if any of the words are too big for you.

Don't use IE6. Or configure IE6 not to display it.

Remember that your visitors who do use IE6 will be used to this
toolbar and may even want to use it, so removing it isn't very
user-friendly.

There are two ways to remove it:
1. <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">
2. (won't validate) Add galleryimg="no" to the <img> element.
(Obviously galleryimg="yes" can be used to get the toolbar back if
you've switched it off for the whole page the meta tag.)

don't **** around with the visitors browser, if you don't want it then
change _your_ browser settings.

Twit.

The OP wasn't specific. This being a HTML writers forum, I would have
assumed he meant "via my page", not from the browser itself.

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

its part of the GUI, not part of the page. the author can do whatever
they like on the canvas area to **** with the visitor but the rest they
should leave alone because _it does_ cause people to leave and never
return.

i always recommend only specifying the generic family so the author gets
the look they want but the visitor gets their preferred font for that
family.

Not the same. IE6 has an option to "ignore font styles specified on
web pages". It doesn't AFAIK have an option to "ignore fucking about
with my UI specified on web pages"

MS added the featyure without being asked. They provided a documented
mechanism for turning it off if it looks messy on your page. It can be
bloody confusing too if you have images layered in some form... for
example, text content over a background image that is placed using
CSS... and you get a save image icon on your text!!!!

How dare you dictate what font family. That's part of the UI. Leave it
for the UA to decide.

my proxy searches for:

<meta http-equiv=("|)\#(expires|Last-Modified|pragma|cache|imagetoolbar)\#

and replaces with:

<KilledByProxy ignore=\@

so

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">

ends up on the page as:

Brucie's right about the browser. It is generally bad practice to do
things like change the browser's size or behavior. Certainly disabling a
menus falls under the category of "malicious coding".
