and right mouse buttons, if you find it easier. Refer to "switching, mouse buttons" in the Windows help
system
The mouse should be considered as a tool that lets you communicate with the
programs running on your HP Brio PC — moving the mouse, clicking and
double-clicking its buttons all have a specific meaning.
Some of these clicking actions always have the same effect, no matter which
program you are using — left-clicking on a menu, for example, always displays
the choices within that menu.
The left mouse button is the "general purpose" button — you use it for
selecting, highlighting, clicking, and for dragging things around your windows
(moving the mouse while holding down the left mouse button on a highlighted
item).
The right mouse button can also be used within many programs. The choices
available to you may differ from program to program — right-clicking on the
Start button for example. Try it for yourself, and see what choices are available
by right-clicking in different areas of the taskbar.
