How do I lock my page so that no one can copy my images (If it's even possible in Frontpage)? Like on Shawn's masterlist. Thanks.

I hate to break it to you, but none of that disable right click stuff means anything. All anyone has to do is click File Save as, save the whole page and take whatever they want.

Dammit, I just threw away a magazine that had an article on how to do this with Adobe GoLive! Their method protected against right clicking and save as. <IMG SRC="smilies/confused.gif" border="0">
One way to help protect your images is to place a clear GIF over them. That way right clicking wont do anything. This doesn't solve the right click problem.

There really isn't anything you can do to stop a resourcefull person from stealing an image.
The 'disable' right-click feature is nice, but there are two kinds, simple and complex. Go with the complex.
Unfortunately nothing is 'fool proof', but there are some very secure ways of doing it (single framed QT movie for instance can be buried deep within the code, making it hard to feret out, and QT movies are usually impervious to Screen Capture software).

Of course it begs the question: Why would you want to prevent people from taking your stuff? The internet is all about open standards, if webpages weren't free to reverse-engineer and picture-grab it would be 10% as interesting as it is now.
Even if you java-disable the right-click you can still do a screen-capture (which works for all static images).
If you're really convinced your stuff is so good that people are falling over themselves to steal it, put your name on it. PaintShopPro allows watermarking as well, so you can put invisible tags in them for authentication purposes.
Your host may allow you to prevent offsite linking too, so that anyone using your pics from another page will be cut off.

That's all you need to get the path to whatever image you want. Sometimes, when a page is compiled, you can't get it, but that is VERY rare on amature sites.
Personally, I find no right click to be ANNOYING AS FUCK. I tend to right click links as often doing so is about 1000 times faster than going "back" to the previous page, should one desire.
Anyway, no right click is a waste of time in my eyes. Although it will keep your average AOL scrub from stealing anything.

Or on some of the scripts, LEFT CLICK and HOLD, that will send a "Left Mouse Down" Event to the Java-Script Handler, and you can then while holding Left, right click and get the menu up <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">. Some of the more complex scripts lock this out, but 3 outta 5 times it works just fine.
