Well, there is no way that you can stop people using print-screen as far as I know, however I know of this one website where you can't copy the sprites this guy made, however I can't find it any more. So at least, it is possible, s'all I'm saying.
It's a times like this that <insert funny noun here> is really <insert silly adjective here> but I'm O.K. because <insert pop culture reference here> helps me through <insert daily occupation here>
No, it's not possible.
If you can read the files from the CD you can then write them somewhere else...
Same with websites. If you can see the graphic you already have a copy on your system so the only thing to do is find it (unless the graphic is read from a remote source on the fly using a Java applet or flash thingy but then you could reverse engineer that and read it anyway).

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

There must be some software that can do this for me, Does Nero have such facility?

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

You can NOT prevent individual files from being taken from your CD and used elsewhere.

Hello,
I thought I saw something about copy-inhibit settings on a server share. Part of the file attibutes that Windows uses. But that would not help having the media in front of you on your local machine.
People will find a way to copy things, even if they are not supposed to.

There's isn't a cd out there that's impossible to copy. You don't need any special kind of software, actually there's a program out there called "Alcohol 120%" that can copy any protected cd, even the strongest protection to date.
I guess you could look into apply some of these copy protection schemes to your cd..Some of them are "SecurRom", "SafeDisc", and many more. It won't protect everything from invidivually copied onto the harddrive, but it will protect the most important files. But again, there are programs out there that can easily break these protection schemes.

yes Christian, you can set a file to inhibit copying but that will deter only the casual copier.
If I create an application that reads in the file and then writes out the data to another file I have effectively a copy yet I never issued a copy command to the operating system.
