dicknite Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I used to have the ability to right click on a picture in IE and on the right click menu, there was an option to zoom-in or zoom-out...I'm not certain which OS (I know it was Windows) this was, or which browser (IE) version...Could have been Win98?Maybe it was a part of one of the MS Powertoys, or Tweakui, or maybe it was a video card utility, or ??I really liked that ability. I've been searching for a couple of days now... Can't seem to find any reference to it, let alone a download to make it happen again.Anyone remember/still have this ability? If so, where did you get it?Thanks!d|:^)Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epp_b Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I can tell you that it's not a standard feature of MSIE (any version), Win98, or TweakUI. As for Powertools, I couldn't tell you as I've never used it.I think this may be what you're looking for:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...n-us/tools.mspxHowever, note that this is only for MSIE 5.X.If you're using MSIE 6.X, you might consider trying this:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser...e-GrabPic.shtml (it costs $9 though).You might be able to find a free one by going through these results:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=i...2right+click%22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I know what you mean Dick, I used it myself :it was part of the Webaccessories :http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previo...ss/default.mspxIt worked on IE5.x and 6.xThe utility you're referring to has a failure in it : go here and look for the link mr. Eshelman gives to correct this:http://www.aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php#ie5wa Edited May 10, 2005 by striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicknite Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yep!That was it... I installed it and did the edit of the two files and it is back!You guys obviously have search skills I don't... Could you please tell me the search you went through to find it?I searched MS, the MSKB, Google, and Dogpile... I searched for:internet explorer zoom inright click menu zoom inIE right click menu zoomand all possible combination of those words, quotes, plus signs, etc...How did you find it?Thanks again for the pointers - I really like that tool.d|:^)Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I just knew which utitlity you meant because I used it myself.So it was an easy one, and I also knew it was mentioned at mr. Eshelmans site including the little correction.BTW: Try this in Google : IE+zoom+right click Try it in Firefox Google bar, you're ending up at Google with right at first link the one to microsoft.Try it in the Addressbar of Firefox and you're getting straight to the Webaccessories.
