One of the more useful features of IE 4 that was removed from IE 5 was the ability to right click in a frame and to select something like "Open Frame in New Window". Well, this feature is still available via Microsoft's free Web Accessories for Internet Explorer 5.

• Zoom images
• List all links
• List all images, their sizes, and the expected load times

The interesting thing about these enhancements is the way they are implemented.

• The context menus are extended by modifying the registry.
• The features are actually html files which contain javascripts.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\[menu text]
  Default  - [points to an html file]
  contexts - [determines when the option is available]

Context Code	Menu options	Implied meaning
01	Links Image List Open Frame in New Window	Show when you right click on a page
02	Zoom In Zoom Out	Show when you right click on a picture (IMG reference)
10	Highlight WebSearch	Available whenever text is highlighted / selected

IE 6 contains Print Preview - about time :)

These are important and are sometimes modified by browser hijackers
