GETTING A CONTEXT MENU WITH LEFT MOUSE BUTTON
When you right-click most objects on the desktop
or in My Computer or theWindows Explorer, you get what is
called a "Context Menu", which contains a list
of common actions that would be appropriate for that
particular context. For example, you might be presented
with a choice among Move, Copy, or Create Shortcut.
Suppose your right mouse button isn't working? Are you
out of luck, or is there some way you can use your left
mouse button to get to the context menu? Actually, there
is a way, although it requires a bit of dexterity: you
have to press and hold the Ctrl key and the Shift key at
the same time, and then click with your left mouse
button.
