Image Resizing for Internet Explorer

I am sure a lot of you have been browsing around, came across a picture, clicked on it then realized when it opened, you could only view about 1/16th of the picture as it was too big to fully fit on your screen.  Well I have a quick solution to help you change the setting so that no matter the picture size, it will automatically re-size to fit on your screen for full viewing.

You need to get to the Internet Options.  There two different ways you can get there.
1.  Top right hand corner, click on the gear looking icon, then select Internet Options from the menu.



















Or 2.  From the top menu bar, select Tools then Internet options at the bottom of the menu.
 
























Once you get to the Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab (far right at the top).
 






















Scroll down a little past half way, under Multimedia, the second option of "Enable automatice image resizing", make sure this box is checked.  Checking it will make the pictures fit inside the window.  Uncheck it if you are wanting to view the image at its original size.
























ENJOY!
