Randy,
That wasn't the point. It's simply a basic way to help theft of pictures
from a website by right clicking and choosing "Save As". Not everyone knows
to look in the cache, not even all thieves. If this program gives some
people piece of mind and helps prevent 1 in 10 image thefts, then that is
all that matters. It's free.

Just a friendly reminder:
Anything and everything you see on your computer monitor is on your
computer hard drive. Everything. You cannot view anything on the
internet--you can only download it to your computer and view it there.
If you don't want someone to be able to reuse your graphics (or text)
then don't put them on the internet--it's that simple. If you don't
believe me, use some kind of graphic browser (I like Ulead photo
explorer) and investigate the contents of your cache folder. The file
names are pretty much meaningless, but use a 'details' view to see the
dates of downloads as an aid. Or, try empty the cache folder, scan a
site or two and then investigate the cache. I hope this sheds some light
