Lock Data CD

I have created an web site with a lot of .jpg files
I want to place the web site on a CD-R but no one to be able to see or to have access to the files on the cd.

Burn them on the disc, and then take a black magic marker and scribble on the bottom of the disk until it's entirely black.  Then, no one will have access to them.  :)

If you mean you wish to protect a copy of the CD for your own use (ie, no other user without a password can access the data on the CD) then your best bet is to encrypt, with either something like e4m/scramdisk (an OTF disk encryptor) or a secure zip clone (like the freeware 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org/)
If you want an application on the cd that allows viewing of the images without allowing "raw" access to them, then I would 7zip them individually, and write an application that uses the library from the same site to unzip-then-display them under code control.
ok, that wouldn't prevent a hacker from getting the key out of the code, but what does?
I prefer the steel wool method to the somewhat more mundane (yet equally effective) magic marker method.
