Just so you guys will know, without the drop-down menu people would still be able to download shots from the web even if right-click is disabled by java-script (which is what the change in settings here do). Most browsers allow disabling scripting under the tools section, or someone can simply drag & drop photos into their computer. Lastly, if all else fails they can simply do a screen shot to snatch photos.

The only way to stop photos from being downloaded, is never post them anywhere on the web. If you do post them, as Jan points out... only upload small file sizes to help limit what they can be used for.

There's also ways to find your photos on the web using image tracking sites such as TinEye . There's also add-on features you can use with Firefox Browser that allows image tracking which I highly recommend. Hope you find it helpful.

Thanks!
