Two folders

http://www.domain.com/images
http://www.domain.com/pics

I see in the hotlink protection area that the domains

http://www.domain.com and
http://domain.com

are listed now. If I didn't want the images in the "images" folder to be use elsewhere, but allow the images in the "pics" folder to be used elsewhere, would I just have to add in the following:

http://www.domain.com/images and
http://domain.com/images

to where the hotlink protection is now and take out the other ones??

If that made any sense.

No, the list you see in there currently is the list of areas that are allowed to hotlink the images.

For example, if http;//www.domain.com/pics.html includes an inline image, it's always allowed to work.

The only way it lets you specify which files are protected (from hotlinking) is by the file extension. (jpg,jpeg,gif,png,bmp)

Yes. Inside each folder, create a separate .htaccess file and place your anti-hotlinking code there.

Ah, I didn't think of that... but there's no way to do it through cPanel, correct? You have to know what the .htaccess file does...

Look at the .htaccess file it puts in your public_html directory, or google it. I bet it's not that hard to figure out.
