How do I "right-click" on a MacBook Pro?

This is probably a silly question, but I've searched and can't find an answer. I've tried the control, alt/option and command keys while clicking.
Thanks.

on the wiki look at Keyboard line (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Users/Drivers)
It will lead You to this Microsoft page (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en)
Then you must use "Remapkey.exe (Remap Windows Keyboard Layout)"
To allow the Control key to be combined with left click => right click

The remapkey thing suggested above is appropriate for emulating <ctrl><alt><delete> which is kind of mandatory if you join your XP Mac to a domain. But it does NOT address the <right><click> issue. You need to use the "applemou.exe" utiltity (linked on the driver support page: onmac.net / support / wiki / Users - Drivers). You can just throw this directly in your "Documents and Settings / All Users / Start Menu / Programs / Startup" to launch it automatically on login to XP. However, it will show an annoying splash screen every time if you do this. Instead, if you place the executable elsewhere (e.g. C:\program files) and put a shortcut to it the Startup items, you can supply a /s option for the shortcut which will suppress the splash screen. This is covered on another thread elsewhere on this forum.

On my MBP, I use remapkey.exe to map the Application Key to the small Enter key on the MBP keyboard. That little enter key is the equivalent of the num-pad Enter key on a PC keyboard.

For those of you wondering, the Application Key is to the right of the spacebar and it usually brings up a context menu (nearly identical to right clicking). You usually just have to highlight (left click) on what you want to right-click on, and THEN press the Application Key to get the context menu for that item. Sometimes the menu doesn't pop up right where the mouse cursor is, but that's not a big deal. This works for about 95% of things you'd need to right click for. The only things that I've noticed it can't do are right-click-drag something or precision right-click the mouse (like on a graph or something where you need an exact point clicked on).

Hope you guys find this useful.

Hi, regarding the omission of a right mouse button on a Macbook (Pro aswell) running XP with bootcamp:

It's even much easier I've found out,
just place TWO fingers on your touchpad and click, and there you have a neat Right click.

Still, I don't really understand why the MB cannot be re-circuited, by these MAC-engineers or a patch made for the "I/O" software, since underneath the the mouse button there are already two micro swithches soldered to the MB. And the mouse button itself can toggle left and right easily..
cheers,
