Keyboard Tips

KEYBOARD EQUIVALENT OF RIGHT MOUSE CLICK

If your computer is fairly recent, you might have a key which has a picture of a mouse cursor clicking a menu. This is called the Application key. Pressing this key is like right clicking with your mouse. For example, if you have an icon in Windows Explorer or My Computer or your Desktop highlighted, if you press this key, it will give you the Context Menu you would normally get by right clicking the icon. Or, if you have the mouse cursor focused on your Desktop, then pressing this key give you the Context Menu for right clicking on the Desktop.
