The right click is the single most common and easy to use shortcut. A right click anywhere on the screen displays a context sensitive menu. (You then left-click to make a choice from that menu.)
The context sensitive menu changes depending what you click on. For example, if you right-click on the task bar, you get a menu containing choices for the task bar. If you right-click on the Recycle Bin, you get options appropriate for it.
RIGHT CLICK ON EVERYTHING. If you know how to do it, the right click is faster. If you don’t know where an option exists in a program, right click and it may appear.
Here are some examples of great places to use the right mouse button: | Right Click on... | To... | On the desktop | Access the display properties | On the recycle bin | Empty the recycle bin | On any selected item | Cut or copy | On a misspelled word in MS Word | Choose a correct spelling | On any word in MS Word | Replace word with a synonym | On a picture on the Internet | Save the picture to your hard drive | On a link on the Internet | Open link in a new window | On a program in the task bar | Close the program. (This works great for pop up Internet ads!) |
