Right click in Boot Camp

can you not just hold down control and click like in OSX?

you can't, I use my bt mouse for the Windows side, you can't tap the trackpad for click either, you could try this http://www.geocities.com/pronto4u/applemouse.html but I'm not sure if you lose the ctrl button afer that for anything else.

Have you tried holding down both shift and control then clicking?
Thats what I have to use when using remote desktop to an xp machine anyway.

If you select something with the left button (or the only button in this case) you can use Ctrl-Shift-F10 to bring up the right click menu.

that's alot to do just to get a right click, hopefully when they release Leopard the ctrl click will work.

'Nuff said.

did you read the start of this thread? I already mentioned this but then you can't use ctrl for paste and copy etc. from what I hear.

From whom, praytell, did you "hear"? The software was written for Windows users who prefer to use Apple's single button mouse. I'd suspect the odds are that it merely allows the use of the control key as a modifier for a regular mouse click; this would no more impair the use of the control key for modifying other actions (copy, paste, etc.) than the fact that ctrl-A selects all would mean you couldn't use ctrl-C or ctrl-P (which, of course, it doesn't).

Unless you have installed the software and know that it doesn't work, don't indicate to others that it doesn't.

If the original poster tries using it, perhaps he or she can provide actual information for the rest of us...

I can confirm it works with the MacBook Pro trackpad.

i used this to remap the keyboard and am now using Fn+click as the right click
as long as I am getting used to XP shortcuts again this one is not to hard to remember....

hope that helps & is not a repost

Apple states that holding down the right "Command" button will work, but for me, all it does is call up the Windows "Start" menu. The "AppleMouse" application works for me, and does not seem to disable any other functionality of the "Control" key. However, since it is an application and not a driver, it must be launched each time you start up. You could make it a start-up item, and the "Read Me" file says something about using a command line to eliminate the start-up dialog if you do so. I haven't tried that since I normally use a two-button USB trackball, so I can't give any comment on that.

This also works: Two fingers on the track pad and click. When you think about it its actually almost intuitive - "to right click, place second finger down then click"

for some reason, i don't like installing 3rd party apps to remap keys etc - i typically try to learn the native way and see if i like it or not. so, in that sense,

shift+F10 == right-click.

cheers

Genius! You Rock!

Thanks
