[QUOTE="goddess_of_go, post: 717733, member: 58436"] Oh yes you can. The Mighty Mouse can be programed to right click. Edit: After reading the entire thread it seems that the OP seems to think he can't copy and paste items in the finder. You can right click on items and choose to copy them from the contextual menu. Granted, you can't cut them. But as another poster pointed out, it is probably safer to copy to one location before deleting from another anyway. I used to do that in windows especially when I was dealing with more than one file at a time or an especially large file. I was always afraid that something might go wrong before an operation was completed. If that happened my file was still in the old location. I am a switcher who was a PC user since 1983 or thereabouts. I have been a Mac user for four months. Initially the thing I had the hardest time adjusting to was the Finder. I liked my Explorer Plus from Windows. It took me awhile go get used to the Finder. It's slightly inconvenient to have to open multiple Finder Windows to manipulate files. In Explorer plus I could have two panels set as the default. And it took me awhile to adjust to the fact that folders don't sort at the top of the list. I found that maddening. There were a few other differences in file manipulation that took some getting used to. But I actually prefer the Finder to Windows Explorer now, so much so that when moving files to and from my Mac and PC I always do it from within the Finder and pull files from the PC and push files to the PC rather than pushing and pulling them to and from the Mac from the PC side.
