Boot Camp Special Report: MacBook Pro cannot right-click -- solutions
The MacBook Pro cannot natively right-click in Wondows XP.
The right-click functionality works if the "Button configuration" section of the Mouse Properties (located in the Control Panel) is set to "Switch primary and secondary buttons." Unfortunately, this won't allow you to left-click anything. If you accidentally check this option and can't left-click to reverse the switch, remember that you can tab to that option then press the space bar to toggle the option on and off.
There is a downloadable utility called "Apple Mouse Utility" by an independent developer that some users have reported success with. It enables use of the control-click combination in substitution for a right-click.
Another solution is to use the keyboard combination Control-Shift-F10 after left-clicking the item you would like to right-click.
