Right click + windows.

I've got a macbook with bootcamp/xp.

I rarely run windows, and when I do, it's only to do something that's easier or I can't get to work with tiger, and it's just less work to reboot ...

Anywho, I can not figure out how to right click when I'm running windows. I have an external mouse, somewhere ... I don't like it, though. It annoys my wrist, and I always just use my thums on the trackpad and barely move my fingers from the keyboard.

ctrl+click doesn't work with xp. I tried it like 11 times. I'm assuming that if I used my external mouse, I'd be able to right click, but I don't want to always have it with me "just in case..."

Any suggestions?

Thats a good question. Another thing is what about the Control key. I heard Macs dont have the Control key but that really is needed in Windows, so what key replaces that exactly?

two fingers on the touchpad + click = right-click.

I dunno about most people, but I use ctrl+click to right click. I can't imagine a mac without it. Ctrl is probably one of my more worn keys. :dive:

"I heard such and such", always a good line :spook:

Macs DO have a Control key, it's right there next to the Alt/Option key. So in Windows, you can use the Ctrl and Alt keys as usual.
