Download Images From a Webpage When Right Click Is Disabled

Some webmasters disable the right click menu on their websites to prevent people from saving images onto their desktop. [The screenshot is from the online edition of a print newspaper.]
As you already know, there are a zillion options to bypass that "right click" barrier - you can do a screen capture or copy that protected image from the web browser's cache or read the image URL from the HTML source of the web page and then save the image using your favorite download manager.

All the above methods work but the only problem is that they are geeky. So let's take look at another approach that requires absolutely no effort - it's called "drag-n-drop."
Just point your mouse pointer over the image, press and hold the left click button and drag that image either to browser address bar or somewhere on destkop. That's it. No hunting required.
The drag-n-drop method really comes handy when the web page is opened in a window that has no menus, scroll bars or the toolbar.
