How to disable Right Click on a Web Page – with HTML
There are many ways to prevent the use of Right Click on a Web page, but the most popular one was to use a JavaScript code to disable Right Click. With JavaScript you can either display a custom message like “No Right Clicks Allowed” or just annoy the user by no response.

Any ways I strongly recommend that you do not Disable Right Clicks on your site. One thing is that the user gets a hostile feeling and may not prefer to return. Then, there is no such thing as a complete foolproof way to prevent users from copying or saving your content. In my experience I was successful in copying the content from sites I visited and which used such a foolish technique.

However if you still want to disable right click, here is a simple HTML way to do so

1 . View the HTML source code of your webpage and locate the tag.
2 . Paste this inside the tag
ondragstart=”return false” onselectstart=”return false” onContextMenu=”return false”
Now the code will look something like


This is the basic of all right click disabling techniques

How to delete undeletable files
 
This is a simple tool to delete files Windows would not allow you to delete. This will do the work most of the time. If you still have difficulty in deleting please go to other posts in this series.
 
 
The problem with deleting a file can be caused by some application using that particular file OR because Windows has locked it due to some reason. If Windows has locked the file then some boot time file deleting tool can be used to delete it.
If this is not the case then it is comparatively easy. First take TaskManager (), in the processes tab you’ll find a process named explorer, RIGHT CLICK that and click End Process Tree. This will end all the running programs that you have started through Windows explorer. (Save all unsaved documents before this)
 
Now try deleting th file after loading Windows Explorer (File>>New Task “explorer”). You will be able to delete the file.


 

Hide files under other files (merge) using command prompt

Here is how you can hide files from the prying eyes of others. This can be done by using the copy command in Command Prompt. The format of the command to merge files is 
copy /b FILE1.ext+FILE2.ext+….+FILEn.EXT destination.EXT

 

The parameter /b tells the command to consider files as Binary. An example is “copy /b 1.jpg+2.zip 3.jpg” which will produce an image named 3.jpg after merging the image 1.jpg and compressed archive 2.zip The file is now treated as an Image of JPEG type. It’s always better to use two files as this will enable you to recover both the files (else you may need a hex editor to split the files).When you want to open the zipped file change the extension of the merged file from .jpg to .zip (if Windows Zip utility won’t open the file use another archive tool such as WinRAR or WinZIP).
The trick can be done with most of the file types. You will not able to recover the second file by changing the extension if both files are of same type, that is both JPG or both ZIP. A HEX editor can be used to find the header of second file, you may copy the data further onwards to a new file to get the lost file.
These are the screen shots of my merging process
The Image file and the Archive before Merging 
Files Merged (check out the file sizes of all the three files )
 
The Image file after merging has been renamed to .rar (extension of second file) and has been opened using WinRAR
 
If you use a zip file instead, Windows Compressed Folder manager may not recognize the file but a dedicated Archive tool like WinRAR will be able to open the archive.
 
 

How to open unknown files – without extension
 

There are times when we are not quiet sure which program could be used to open a file. Worst case scenario is when the file doesn’t have an extension. Here are some ways in which you can recognize/open such files.
Try the extension at an online file extension archive.
Use a Universal File viwer to open the file.
If everything else fails open the file with a HEX editor or using Notepad. Look for the first few charecters. These will be the filetype headers in most cases. Here is a small list of filetypes and header charecters for popular file types.
MIME type File Extension Starting characters
  
image/ PNG ‰PNG
