Help with right click...

I can't use right click for some reason? Is their a keyboard shortcut? I need to delete stuff from the trashcan.

Do you mean you can't right-click anymore, as in it used to work? Or is this the first time you're trying to right-click?

It never did, id their a shortcut?

I take it you're using the mighty mouse; just go into your mouse preferences to enable the right-click.

Right Click works on any Mac with OSX with a 2-3 button mouse. What Mac is this and what mouse?

You can hold Control and click and it will right click.

With both the Mighty Mouse and the trackpad, you have to go into System Preferences --> Keyboard & Mouse and enable right-clicking.

Oh thanks! Also, I downlaoded the Mac version of MSN from the Apple website. Two icons appeared on my desktop one that says "Microsoft Messenger" and the other had some weird numerical text and an image of a paper with a hard drive over it that I renamed to "MSN Messenger". Is it safe to delete the numerical/paper hard drive one without it deleting the whole program?

Get rid of them both and download adium. Its better, fully customizable and prettier.

Right-click is not even necessary. There's a menu bar at the top of the screen, with commands like Finder > Empty Trash.

Also another way to Empty the Trash is Left Click on the Trash icon in the Dock and hold it down. A dialog will pop up and you can click Empty Trash from there also.
