How to enable right click on websites that disable it?

Annoyed with websites that disable right clicks? Here are some quick ways for you to re-enable the right click button on webpages that have it diabled by default.

Many websites on the internet disable "right click" on their webpages thus disallowing the end user from copying or saving any text or image from that site. However there are simple way arounds which can re-enable "right mouse clicks" on those pages.

How to re-enable right click in Internet Explorer?

  • Click “Tools”->”Internet Options”
  • Click the “Security” tab.
  • Click “Custom Level”
  • Scroll down to the “scripting” section.
  • Set “Active Scripting” to “disable” (Active scripts are programs written in Javascript)
  • Click “Ok”. Restart your internet browser.

The above method disables all javascript from the webpages and since the "right click protection" is basically a javascript code, that gets disabled also. This method basically disables the javascript for all webpages. Be sure to re-enable the "Active Scripting" once you are done with the webpage. Keeping javascript disabled can degrade your browsing experience and you might also have trouble logging onto many websites.

Quick Hack TipHere is a quick fire way to disable "right click" protection from a webpage rendered in internet explorer without following all the steps listed above. Just enter the code below in your "Internet Explorer" URL with the webpage you want to disable "right clicks" on opened.
    javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null

In most cases, this will disable the "right click" protection.
