Changes in Context/Design Just This Gallery

I set up a Gallery that I want to isolate from the rest of my site.
I thought I could do this by modifying
Just this Gallery
-Menu
---Links
Home
Browse
Search
and by changing those 3 link address to loop back to the same Gallery.
However, when I do, all the site menus are changed and not, Just this Gallery.
Is there a way to do this?

I plan to give out the Gallery address to a group of people and tell them that they can pass it on to other family members. But, I only want them to access to that one Gallery (ala Phanfare.) If you marked a site (Gallery) private, you couldn't go up or down from there, effectively isolating that Gallery (Site.)

If it worked, it would be a simple way to limit access to one Gallery. I just don't understand why making those changes to "Just this Gallery" modifies the menus site wide.

I'd appreciate any assistance.

    It won't work because everything you put in the "entire site" section will appear on all pages even if they are made custom.

    The way to do it is turning on "hide owner" in the gallery settings under security & sharing. This will get rid of all your customizations and hide your site name so visitors can't see the rest of your site.

    Thanks Dave,
    That's exactly what I've been looking for.
