If you have a slow Internet connection and want to speed up web page downloads, you can instruct Netscape Navigator to replace the page's own images with small icons, called placeholders, when it loads a page.

You Try It: Turn Off Automatic Image Loading

1. From the Communicator menu bar, select Edit, Preferences. The Preferences dialog box will appear.
   

2. Click Advanced on the Category list. That panel will move to the front.

3. Windows: Uncheck Automatically Load Images. Macintosh : Uncheck Automatically Load Images And Other Data Types.

4. Click OK to close the Preferences dialog box and return to the Navigator window.

	Tips for New Users
	When you turn off automatic image loading, you can still decide to view images. If you have auto image loading turned off, click the Images button on the navigation toolbar to load the images on that page. To view a single image without loading other images, click the image's icon on the downloaded web page.
