I am using a COM instance of Internet Explorer. How do I disable the downloading and rendering of images? Unfortunately, the images are slowing things down significantly and I don't need them loaded. Thanks, Jon

Igor, I've been helped by you before on something else related to COM (thanks) but in that instance I was left in the dark because I was stuck in the .NET world. I'm still in .NET world. I should have not indicated "COM instance" ... rather, I'm using System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser wrapper. The ..ActiveXInstance property is exposed, but I assume there are limitations on my ability to implement IOleClientSite manually in this host environment. I suppose I could drop the WebBrowser wrapper and reimplement using my own RCW but at that point I might as well just use System.Net.WebClient. Is there not a simple property I can set on this control, to override the user's Advanced settings value under Multimedia for downloading images?

Yay, that worked. (Had to follow the download source code link and copy and paste the relevant code blocks into my code; the blog description was not enough.)
