Disable right click on pictures

Question

Hi,
I've been asked to disable the 'right mouse click' on
pictures so that they can't be downloaded.
Personally I see little point in doing this as some one can
easily print the screen and get the images that way but hey if
that's what someone wants, that's what they can have.
I have no idea how to acheive this, does any one know?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Answer 1

It doesn't work on my one-button mouse, or on my two-button
mouse with the
button functions reversed because I am left handed, or ....
