Default IE6 image features

cool feature that lets you mouseover an image and it pops up a toolbar that lets you save, print, email, or open your "my pictures" dir.

i go thru a lot of trouble to protect content on my website...any ppl know how i can disable this feature via javascript or somethin?

I know you can use the Apache Rewrite Module and a .htaccess file to protect your pics from others linking to them. Not sure about downloading though.

i already have tons of stuff in place to restrict how to be able to view the images...they're on a heavily protected website and require proper referers.

I know if they really want they can do a screenshot or get the pic out of their cache. i'm just trying to keep the average joe imbiciles from saving my photos.

With earlier versions of the IE browser you could override the right-click menu with a document-level Event listener. I'd be surprised if you couldn't do something similar with images on a page and an "onMouseOver" event override.

Unfortunately, none of the documentation I have on hand covers IE 6. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with. (unless someone beats me to it)
