IE6: Disable automatic image resizing

Note: This tip only applies to the preview release of Internet Explorer 6.

By default, Internet Explorer will resize large images to fit inside the browser window, which is handy when you want to have a quick look at a picture or photo. However, if the picture contains text or some other detail that gets distorted when shrunk, this feature can be annoying. To disable it, go to Tools, Internet Options... and select the Advanced tab. About half way down, you should see an option titled Enable Automatic Image Resizing which you need to un-check.
