| | Left mouse click dropdown I seem to remember that there was a setting that I could change to prevent a drop-down from appearing whenever I clicked on an icon. Now I am presented with a drop-down that has "OPEN' as it's top item. Please tell me where the setting is. |

| | That is the context menu. Normally, and by default, it is on the right mouse button, although it can be switched over to the left for those who are left-handed. You can change this in Mouse Properties. Mouse Button - Vista Forums Last edited by Brink; 27 Jan 2011 at 11:54 AM.. Reason: added link |

| | I am right handed and I use the mouse with my right hand. All I can do is change the left and right button assignments. Not going to do that. Any more suggestions? |

| | If you right click what happens? |

| | Doesn't happen every time so it is difficult to repeat. I'll try to keep track. Also on different icons randomly. |

| | Just did a little experiment. RIGHT click on any icon or folder and ALWAYS get the appropriate drop-down, the one with "OPEN" at the top. Sometimes at random times I get the same drop-down with a LEFT mouse click. I go right back to the same place and get the correct drop-down with a RIGHT mouse click. LEFT click, again, at the same spot and merely get a select. Like I should. |
