Blocking the zoom feature in Internet Explorer
I am running Windows 8.1 on tablet devices and I need to lock the touch zoom in of Internet Explorer pages.

Is there any method to lock the touch zoom feature in Internet Explorer 11?

Thank you!

I have read this article, but I have to avoid the zoom on the pages of IE already developed.

Must prevent the user zooms in IE pages using the touch interface.

Hi Rodolfo Kindlmann,

Since we have limitation of our test environment, I tested on traditional environments and following registry entry might be helpful.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ZOOM]

"ZoomDisabled"=dword:00000001

This value can disable zoom feature of Internet Explorer 11 in general Windows edition.

Hi D. Wu,

We did some tests on your suggestion, but unfortunately we have not succeeded once our environment makes use of devices tablets.

This solution applies perfectly if you have to locking the zoom IE using the mouse scroll wheel.

I need a way to lock the zoom IE via touch (Lock the pinch effect to zoom in IE).

Hi Rodolfo Kindlmann,

Unfortunately since the Pinch to Zoom feature found on touch devices use manufacturer specific drivers, for native Internet Explorer, seems like there is no official way to do that for all webpages. The regular option is to use WebBrowser Control during development for certain webpage or application. Also, this feature should easily be disabled via CSS code in your web application if you have access to that.

Also you could look to your manufacture of the device to see how to disable the feature. Depending if your computer supports it,For Windows 8.1 you could disable pinch zoom feature in control panel Mouse Settings, but it might also affects this feature in other application.
