    Add Mac's ctrl click to Win7?


    Hey,
    I was wondering if you can add Mac's ctrl click feature
    (Which acts as a regular right click) to win7 by registry, software whatever
    (Registry would be ideal)

    I have a Synaptics Pointing Device driver if that helps, additional specs in profile.

    I don't think so, since Ctrl+Click is already used in Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts. Shift+F10 keys can often be used as an alternative to a right click.

    Hmm, well thanks for the info, didn't know it was already used.
    I'll look for some third party software but for now I'll mark this as solved.:)

    Try Autohotkey and see if it does what you need.

In previous versions (at least up to XP) if I was in an explorer window, if I held the Ctrl key down while clicking on a folder, file, up or back arrow, etc. a new window would open, displaying whatever I clicked on. This made it very easy to show two windows of the same folder, or a folder and...
