November 28, 2013
Updated: April 14, 2022
Quick overview:

Many webmasters protect their pages by completely blocking right-clicks on images, for example, so that nobody can save them via the context menu that appears. However, this block is not an obstacle for Windows Tweaks users:

1. Click on such a locked object with the right mouse button and hold it down.

2. The following warning message appears, e.g. Right mouse button has been deactivated can be hidden with the space bar.

3. Now release the right mouse button so that the context menu appears.

Have fun with this useful trick!

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
