How to disable the Zoom feature in Internet Explorer

30.Jul.2010 | by Gusac | Filed in: Articles, Tutorials

Internet Explorer has an option to zoom the display of its content. This can be done by various methods, which are:

  • From View menu, go to Zoom option.
  • Press the CTRL key while scrolling mouse up zoom in and down for zoom out.
  • Internet Explorer Status Bar - At the bottom right.

To disable the zoom feature, we need to modify registry and restart the Internet Explorer. Here are the steps:

  • Open the Registry Editor (regedit) and go to the following location:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom
  • Take the back up of the the above mentioned key.
  • In the right pane, create the following DWORD value: ZoomDisabled
  • Value data for ZoomDisabled should be 1 (for Disabling Zoom).

DisableZoom_IE

  • Close the Internet Explorer window and open a new one. We should not have the Zoom option available now.
  • To Enable it again, just change the value data to 0.
