Top Tip: Click here to run a free scan for common PC errors

I hate when websites disable the right-click mouse menu. Usually this is because I just want to go ‘back’, but sometimes it’s because I want to copy some of the images on the page.

Digital Inspiration have shared an easy way to copy images when a website has disabled the right-click menu:

  • Just point your mouse pointer over the image you want
  • Press and hold the left button and drag them image either to the address field in the browser or to a blank space on your desktop

Simple! I love it when tips are as simple as this.
