Removing Right Click items

[quizman55]

Does anyone know how to remove items from a context menu in Opera 9.51?

I want to remove/delete/inactivate the "copy image to clipboard" entry in the right click menu but can't find a solution anywhere.

TIA

I fail to see why you want to do this?

if it's to stop people downloading your images from your webpage.... well firstly why just opera? and secondly, whats to stop people just doing a screen capture?

either watermark your pictures, only disply low res versions on the site, or use java or flash to display them

You are missing the point, what I want is for there to be no "copy to clipboard" option in MY right click menu, as I sometimes inadvertedly click this option instead of the "save image" immediately above it, the copied image then replaces any data that is on the clipboard, such as a date/ number for the image that I want to save. This is sometimes inconvenient when there are several images that need to be saved in some sort of sequence, hence the use of dates etc. for the file names. For example if I need to save 25 images I might name them 2009_06_20 01, 2009_06_20 02 2009_06_20 03 etc. I copy the 2009_06_20 bit to the clipboard then insert the 01,02 03 and so on, but if I hit the "copy image clipboard" by mistake the image replaces the 2009_06_20 which means that I have to enter the name again, so I just need to remove the "copy image to clipboard" option from the context menu. Hope this explains things a bit better.

All the entries in the menu are under shellex in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section of the Windows registry

If you dont feel confident enough to edit the registry using regedit.exe from the run menu then search for a utility (freeware)
Search under " context menu editor" in Google or Bing.

Is that OK ?

Finally managed to find out how to do it. The entry is in the Opera\Defaults\Standard_menu.ini file, just needed to edit this file to remove the appropriate line, start Opera again & Bob's your uncle!!.

Thanks to all that took the trouble to read the question and for the responses.
