For a company Intranet Web site it is necessary to restrict the visitors from copying, saving the contest of the Web pages. How it is possible to disable such menu items as: Save, Save As, Select All, Copy, Print … ?
Also to disable CTRL-A, CTRL-C keys combination.

You can't. Even if you did, the underlying content is on their machines already and any savvy user knows where to get it. Refocus your efforts. This one is not worth pursuing..

Yes I know that it is impossible, but the management required to implement that feature. And for the most of the users such measures should work.

You can disable right clicking but that doesn't stop them from using the menus. About the only thing you can do, is open the page in a window where the right click context menu gets cancelled and the menu bar, image bar and tool bar are not displayed. That doesn't stop them from hitting F11 and getting the menus back and re-enabling everything though.. Most of the things you can do, are only valid in Internet Explorer. A user browsing the site in say Netscape would still be able to do pretty much whatever they wanted. There are so many different ways and different browsers you would have to account for. There is simply no way to 100% pull off what they are asking. If I ask for the moon to be delievered to my doorstep, you wouldn't be able to provide that either. You need to inform management that what they are asking for can not be 100% done.

Only IE5.x installed at the companies computers, no other browsers. Those measures as I said are to be work for the average user.
