We've all been in the situation where we want to process a digital photograph but we cann't find the right button to use. The image processing functionality is not obvious to most users. Internet Explorer 6 changes all this by introducing the Image Toolbar, which is supposed to make your life easier. When a user moves his or her mouse pointer over an image, Internet Explorer 6 displays a toolbar that enables the users to save the image (the default location is My Pictures folder), print it, e-mail it, or open the My Pictures folder. The functionality was provided in Internet Explorer 5.5, but it wasn't obvious to most users.
