Image Toolbar in Internet Explorer
The usual method of saving an image from the Internet explorer is by right clicking the image and selecting Save Picture as…. In some sites the web designers disable the right click the option, so the user cannot right click the image and click Save the Picture….
But in that case also the Image Toolbar will display.
Disabling the Image Toolbar
Add an attribute GALLERYIMG in the img tag
<img src="imagesimage1.jpg" galleryimg="false" />
This will disable the Image Toolbar
Enabling the Image Toolbar
In small images the Image Toolbar will not be shown automatically. If we want to show the Image Toolbar in small images we have to enable it.
<IMG GALLERYIMG="true" src="imagesimage1.jpg" />
This will enable the Image Toolbar.
The above mentioned techniques will only disable/enable the Image Toolbar for only the particular image.

To enable/disable the Toolbar on the entire web page use this code.
Insert inside head tag
<HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="false"> </HEAD>
Setting GALLERYIMG=”true” in an IMG tag will override this setting, and the Image Toolbar will be show for that image.
Permanently disable the Image Toolbar in Internet Explorer
Either right-click the toolbar when it is displayed and click Disable image toolbar.
Or
Go to the Advanced tab of the Internet Options which is located on the Tools menu within Internet Explorer. Clear the Enable Image Toolbar check box and click OK. After the image toolbar is disabled, no settings can override this and the image toolbar will not be displayed again until the user selects Enable Image Toolbar.
