I clicked this link and got "Content not found".
I want to know the answer as well, so the question "why" remains.

Looks like things have changed on MSDN after almost two years... ; }

Well, probably the only significant keyphrase you need to find
your own answer is: "Image Toolbar"
I remember seeing a blog about this during IE7 beta days
but it probably isn't around any more now either...
Here's as good an explanation as any...
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general/browse_
thread/thread/c436a9bd35dd4434/bc412c0da04adc84?lnk=st&q=%22image+toolbar%22+(%2
2internet+explorer+7%22+OR+IE7)+(removed+OR+obsolete)++MSDN++group%3Amicrosoft.*
#bc412c0da04adc84
(Google Groups search for
"image toolbar" ("internet explorer 7" OR IE7) (removed OR obsolete) MSDN group:microsoft.*
)
BTW a similar web search yields pretty much the same conclusions
but less definitively and less completely in any one location.
FYI

Got nowhere clicking the link, but I'm guessing that webmastsers (who
disabled the right-click facility) want to prevent others from pinching the
pictures on their sites.
Don't they realise that if someone is that determined to nick their photos
then a way will always found to get around whatever restrictions they try to
enforce, so why bother protesting (like holding back the ocean with
pitchfork).
