Bing – how to disable the background image (and other Bing stuff)

Love Bing but the background image takes too much bandwidth when you connect with a remote machine?  You can disable it by clicking on the Help link at the bottom of the Bing pages.

You can then set the background image on and off.

We cannot turn off the background image via the help option on the UK version of Bing.

Thankfully the URL part of your example does the trick.

Thanks.

I wonder why they didn't put that setting under Extras, Preferences where it belongs.
