If yo’u’re using IE, and you can’t right click, cut and paste this into the address bar:

```auto

javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null) 

```

Take out the underscores after “java” and “script” - there are no underscores in this statement.

Click GO then you should be able to right click. If not, it’s not JScript that’s keeping you from right-clicking.
