Strathos Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hello there Is there any way to open a specific web site using IE without loading the images of it? It would be as if "show images" would be deactivated. Thanks, Strathos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Macro Express can only use the functions of a program to manipulate it. If this feature is available in IE then you should be able to get Macro Express to do it by using the Internet Explorer features. If this is not an Internet Explorer feature, than Macro Express cannot do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathos Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hello Jason Thanks for your reply! I googled hoping to find a Command-Line Parameter to tell IE not to download the images.. But it seems to be there isn't. Anyway, it was only to make the web load faster.. As Im using the "Wait for Web Page" ME Feature the waiting can be quite long because the page in question has a lot of little gifs and jpgs! Thanks again, Strathos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathos Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hello again Just if anyone needed to do the same. I found a simple way to do this. You can set IE not to dowload the images of a web in its settings. IE saves its settings to the windows registry! So, all I had to do is find where they were written. I found it on a Chain called "Display Inline Images" placed somewhere deep in the registry. Then I made a macro like this one: //Set Show images "No" Variable Set String %T98% "no" Write Registry String: "Display Inline Images" //Set Show images "yes" Variable Set String %T98% "yes" Write Registry String: "Display Inline Images" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Have you tried changing settings within IE? The settings under the Multimedia section (Tools->Internet Options->Advanced) should do what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathos Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hello Joe I always knew that I could change settings within IE. I just didnt want ME to go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced and Multimedia Twice every time I needed that webpage to load (after all it was to make things quicker). The solution I posted is basically changing the IE settings writing on the Window's Registry Thanks for your time, Strathos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
