That's a feature of the visitor's browser. How could we possibly remove that? You just discovered the principle how the www works: if a visitors can see your page's content, he already has the content on his PC's hard disk. What could keep him from saving that where he wants to? Nothing.
There's a load of silly no-right-click gimmicks that will prevent users from right-clicking, but those gimmicks are just silly.
My recommendation: don't publish your stuff on the internet if you're afraid that it might get stolen. Watermark it to discourage thieves.
Your original request (disabling particular context menu items from the visitor's browser) is impossible.

OK, if you know of a way to accomplish this, then please share your insight with others who might have questions similar to yours.
