    I did a search for this and came up with a bunch of threads none of which seemed to be on point. I have Windows 7 loaded on my Mac because some of my software does not have an apple equivalent. Of course, some times I need to right click. I tried the two fingers thing, but for this one application, at least, it did not work. Suggestions? Thanks.

    I can't remember off hand, but I believe that in the task tray (where the clock is), there will be a bootcamp icon, which looks like a black diamond. click and open that up and you'll have several keyboard and functionality customization options. I believe one of them can change how right-click works.

    Thanks ajaurynol. Your memory was correct. Two fingers are suppose to give you a right click, but don't on my Mac. So I went to the bootcamp control panel. Two fingers was already (and seemingly pointlessly) checked for the right click. I also checked lower right corner. It works well for the right click.
