No it's not possible. The user can see the image in the browser and thus the browser (and the user) has a copy. You can try and restrict that with nasty (and ill-advised) right-click JS hacks and the like but ultimately if you send something to someone to see or read, what they do with it is beyond your control when you don't control the device they're using.

While true, this is not an answer to the question. Maybe an answer to the topic’s title, yes, but not to the actual question everything boils down to: “IN IE it shows Icons to Save Image, print , mail etc . I want to remove all of these . IS it possible ??”

You cannot prevent the downloading of your images. Just by viewing them, the browser caches them.

If the browser can get it, then the user can somehow get it.
You could investigate using an HTML5 canvas or even (gasp) pixelized tables to render client-side.

Yep, absolutely correct, if the data no matter how disseminated is pushed one can always pull it back.

You can only do so much to prevent some users. To be near 100% foolproof, it's probably impossible. Even if you packaged the images in say, flash, java applet, it doesn't stop users from doing screencapture too.
There are few passive alternatives, e.g. using watermarks, putting up discalimers/warnings.

It seems like everyone else who answered here didn’t read the question.

Yes, it is possible to remove these icons. Just put the following in the <head> of your document.
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
As mentioned in the other answers, users will still be able to get the images if they really want to, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. If you don’t want the images to be copied, you shouldn’t use them on a website.

It sounds like you're talking about the Image Toolbar in Internet Explorer. You can disable it with this code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
</head>
</html>
Or, directly applied to an image:
<img src="test.gif" galleryimg="no" />
