windows right click hotkey?

[SimonS]

My mouse's right click no longer works, so ive bought a new one.

meanwhile....is there a hotkey for the right click menu?

Shift + f10 does it, but certain windows and programs either dont work, or they produce a general menu (e.g. if I tried right clicking with this hotkey on an icon, it would just do the 'general' desktop menu).

Whats the Key next to Alt and Ctrl on the right side of the keyboard? looks like a menu thing with a mouse so I assume it can be used for right clicking? ala Macs?

Yes, that is exactly what it's for.

you've got the right keybord shortcut. However you neet to highlight the icon or file, in order to get the proper menue. When my buds mouse driver was destroyed by some hacker in a chat forum. I fixed it by using the tab keys to highlight and re install the driver. Press f1 for help on the desktop then type in keybord shortcuts for a list.

Typically, it does not launch a context menu where the mouse cursor is located, but at a corner of the page/window. This key is normally used when the right mouse button is not present on the mouse.
