IE internal TIFF viewer - modifiable?

[ChefSausage]

I'm running an ASP-driven site that creates a frameset; the top frame lists all the possible images retrieved for a given search and lists them as links. The bottom frame shows the actual image. This image is dynamically pulled from a remote server for display. These images are only stored on the remote server in .TIFF and are far larger in dimensions than most people's browser resolutions.

This TIFF viewer is automatically embedded in the later versions of IE, complete with zoom buttons. My question is is there any way to manipulate that zoom feature, or any other feature, in this application viewer in IE? I'm presuming Active X is the way to go, unless there's another way that I'm not aware of.

I don't think that its part of IE but more that it is a OLE application. Just like if you send down a word doc to the browser it will load word up inside the IE Frame. Thus you just have to look up how you can automate the image browser that comes with XP.
