[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1836769, member: 83420"] @johnchristy44 As stated, that is the normal behaviour when using the Right Click option. It's valuable because in any given situation, it brings up a list of options appropriate to where you Right Click. If you Right Click on a word, as in my post #3, you get a list appropriate to that word; such as getting the meaning of the word, searching the internet for more info on it, copying it for pasting elsewhere, sharing it etc. Where you Right Click and on what, yields different options. For example, on a blank Desktop (try it), on a photograph, on a Folder and so on. You cannot disable it as such, but you can avoid inadvertently using the Right Click by going into System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click and unchecking "Secondary Click". This will ensure that a Left or Right Click will always behave as a Left Click. In that situation, you can only get a true Right Click if you hold down the Control key and Click (Rt or Lt, it doesn't matter). So you can "remove" the Rt Click in a manner of speaking. But Rt Clicking is a very useful action as it brings up a list of options/actions appropriate to where you Click. HTH?? Ian [/QUOTE]
