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".

The Doormouse

Did you see my example? How could this be malicious coding if it's a
documented part of how IE works? It's a bit like saying "using meta tags
to turn off caching is malicious coding". Daft

If I have a console built up from several layered images, and then a run
a content layer that partially runs over the top, the last thing I'd
want my poor users to see is a bloody greate "save image" icon when they
move the mouse over the TEXT of the site...

By default, we turn it off on all of our sites.

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

Where do I type this in? The address bar?

In the head of your page's HTML:

<head>

....stuff...

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

</head>

<body>

Then you might benefit from using a real HTTP header.

does anybody have an idea how to get rid of the dirty
download-print-and-email-button that appears in IE 6.x everytime the cursor
is put over a (a slightly bigger) .jpg or .gif file?

Using a different browser, such as Mozilla, is always an available
option when you dislike the (mis)features of some particular browser.

Touchy.

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.

Then the answer is, don't. How does he know whether the user wants the
toolbar or not?
