Set Your Mouse or Trackpad to Right-Click
Many tasks in Windows, such as bringing up shortcut menus, are accomplished by right-clicking.
By default, Parallels Desktop is set to mimic a right-click when you press Shift+Control and click
the mouse. You can change which key combination triggers a right-click.
You can also set your trackpad to allow right-clicking, and if you have an Apple Mighty Mouse
(included with Apple desktop computers from 2005-2009) or Magic Mouse (included with current
Apple desktop computers), you can set the mouse to allow right-clicking.
Most other mice are pre-configured for right-clicking.
Set the Trackpad for Right-Clicking.
1 Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Trackpad.
2 Select Secondary Tap.
Now you can tap the trackpad with two fingers to simulate a right-click.
