Moving Style Image Directory

[thetechgenius]

I have a custom Vbulletin Skin, and I want to move the Skin Image Directory Outside the root directory, so its not directly accessible if someone clicks "Copy Image Location", or tries to rip my Skin images.

I am trying to figure out a way so no one can Rip my custom Skin.

I want to put my Style Image Directory outside of my Website directory.

Example: I want to move the directory from: "c:\sites\www.example.com\images\customstyle" to "c:\sites\customstyle"

Is there any way to do this?

No. If you don't want your images to be accessible, there's no way for a browser to show them. If you want your users to see the image, they need to be able to access (and therefore download!) it.

No, there's no way to do this.
In order to show a custom skin, it has to load your custom images which -must- be in a public accessible location.
