12Ghosts Toolbar for IE 9.00.52.5740 is regarded as an effective and easy to use utility that can add a fully customizable toolbar to Internet Explorer to optimize your work and save time when browsing the Internet. Enable or disable any dynamic page elements, such as Flash animations, animated GIFs, and background sounds, on the fly: No more blinking or animated ads. Use the Boss Key to quickly hide all browser windows, should somebody enter unexpectedly. Move IE windows to the same position with one click, or even automatically. Clear the history and temporary cached files to protect your privacy. Fast download of thumbnail galleries, including re-naming to prevent overwriting of existing pictures. With this add-on to Internet Explorer you will have more fun, get things done faster, and hav more time to relax.Major Features:Settings dialog boxOpen the 12-IETools settings dialog box. Here you can change Auto-Stop and Boss-Key options, as well as general startup options.Customize the ToolbarAdd or remove toolbar buttons, and change the sequence of buttons. You can, at any time, reset the buttons to factory defaults by clicking Reset. Removing buttons saves space on the toolbar and you will probably be able to have another toolbar on the same row.Auto-StopAutomatically stop any dynamic page elements, such as background sounds and animations, immediately after the page has completed loading. No longer will a blinking ad distract your attention. (Note, this does not apply to scripting, Java applets, or Shockwave controls.)There are options for Auto-Stop in 12-IETools settings. For example, some pages need longer to load. Increase the Auto-Stop Delay to 3 to 5 seconds. If a page still doesn't finish loading in that time, a manual refresh (F5) is an easy way to load pages completely, so turn off Auto-Stop After Refresh.ActiveXActiveX controls impose a security risk because they might access files and data on your computer. By turning off ActiveX controls you can enhance security. Only Enable ActiveX if necessary on a particular web page. (You need to restart IE for this change to take effect.)FlashShockWave Flash is an IE add-on that is often used to display animated ads. You can turn it on and off on the fly, without restarting IE. Some pages require it, some pages use it to display videos. With this button you can enable and disable Flash quickly. (Disclaimer: ShockWave, Flash, and Adobe are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated.)Animated GIFsAnimated GIFs are blinking pictures, often used to display ads. While you usually want to have pictures on web pages, you may not want them to blink.ImagesWithout images pages load faster! You may still display a picture: right-clicking on its placeholder and select 'Show Picture'.SoundsBackground sounds are most distracting if you don't expect them. With this button you can easily turn them on and off. (This does nothing to other sounds from videos, etc., or Windows.)Protect Your HomepageSecure your homepage, the page that loads when you start IE, from being changed inadvertently or by malicious programs. After changing the homepage yourself confirm the new homepage setting by simply pressing this button twice (disable and enable it again).WashClear out traces you left while browsing and working with Windows.Popup-KillerEnable and disable 12-Popup and add approved sites. (12-Popup is a separate program.)On TopKeep the current Internet Explorer window on top of all other windows, that is, even if not activated. You can still see the contents while working with a program beneath IE.Set SizeSet the size and position of Internet Explorer windows. You may also enable Auto-Size which sets the default size the moment the window appears.Three sizes can be pre-set for different situations. To change one of the three ...Size commands, position the IE window, then select one of the three Change... commands. (Note, the toolbar is also available in Windows Explorer.)
