How do I right click in Windows Xp during bootcamp

Hi,
This is probably a noob question, can anyone help me right click in windows xp. Thanks, and also why is num-lock light permanently on. Thanks

control+click also if you have a mac book i think you can tap the pad with 2 fingers to right click.. not sure if that works in xp though...

With the MB or MBP, Windows doesn't recognize tapping the trackpad. So the double-tap which works in OS X won't help you. Also, you can't single-tap to replace clicking the trackpad button, either.

To right-click in WinXP, you can either ctrl+click or, using only the trackpad, press the trackpad button while touching the trackpad itself with TWO fingers simultaneously. In other words, it's like the two-finger click in OS X but you also have to press the trackpad button at the same time.

ctrl + clicking the trackpad isnt working

 

[imacmatt09]

have you installed the drivers?

When you say "clicking the trackpad" what do you mean?

You cannot tap the trackpad to get a "click" in WinxP. You have to put two fingers on the trackpad (as if you were going to do the two-finger scroll) and then while touching the trackpad with both fingers, also click the button below the trackpad.

Right click in windows

you need to either highlight or place the mouse over whatever you want to right click and then press shift and F10 together
