    Hey guys long time I haven't gone here!

    I (finally) installed W7 on my MBP. I'm wondering if there's a way to have the trackpad behave like in Lion. By that I mean two things

    1. Right click with one finger...
    2. Having the scrolling go the same way as in Lion (there are inverted...)

    Thanks!

    The trackpad does not have the same functionality in Windows 7 as it does in OSX. Even though your question is asked all the time on these forums, it's not addressed in Apple's FAQ for Boot Camp. Go figure.

    There may be some third-party drivers which may help you out, but I don't have any first-hand experience.

    Check out this 3rd party driver by the team that makes Power Plan 7. I've used Power Plan 7, but never use trackpad++

    Yes, Trackpad++ supports inverted scrolling and secondary clicking in the corner.
