Anyone know if it's possible to turn off display of animations on web pages while browsing?

I routinely disable pictures, e.g. Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab - and uncheck Show Pictures
To speed up pages over my slow dial-up connection.

But these @#$%^&&*() animated ads are not only annoying, but make your screen look like your playing computer games instead of doing serious research.

Related question: any way to sort of "hot key" the disabling/enabling of the Show Pictures state?

Thanks, DaveBo
