    Try clicking with two fingers on the trackpad. Or Ctrl+Click (but I think you have to set this up in the Boot Camp Control Panel)

    It's 2 fingers on the touchpad, then click the touchpad button. It takes 2 fingers and a thumb and quite awkward to use daily, but it's better than nothing. Personally, I'd just recommend getting a mouse.
