Next, I’ll go ahead and click on Devices. The next button I’ll click on is called Mouse & Touchpad. Once I do that, I’ll find myself at the Mouse settings window. Switching the Left & Right Mouse ClickDo you know what the difference between the left mouse click and the right mouse click is? No? Well, let me help. Simply put, in Windows, the left click selects something and carries out some sort of an action. You can either single click it or double click it. If you single click, you generally select something. Think of a file or a folder as a target for some action to come in the future. If you double click, whatever the possible action is, it’s carried out. If I head into a folder, I can select a file by left clicking on it once. If I want to open that folder, I can double click it.

Remember, don’t confuse the operations of working inside of Windows with the operations of working on the internet.

The internet consists of hyperlinks that only need to be clicked on once to carry out an action. There’s no need to double click a link on a web page.

In Windows, if I right click, I’m presented with a menu of possibilities for action. Once the menu appears, I’ll need to left click on one of the selections to make something happen. I’ve never double right clicked on anything, so I don’t think that’s even an option. The reason I bring this up is because in Windows 10, we have the ability to swap which buttons control the left and right clicking on our mice (or mouses). Or more specifically, which button is the Primary button and which is the Secondary. Traditionally, the left button is primary. To switch which does what, all I need to do is locate the drop-down menu right below the line that says “ Select your Primary Button.” I’ll click it and choose either the left or the right. I can remember the days before this wheel and boy, they were tough.Īctually, there is no Save button to hit.Īdjusting the Mouse Roller WheelThe mouse wheel is the best invention to hit the computer in the last twenty years. Every time I wanted to scroll down a screen, I had to move my mouse pointer over to the scroll bar on the right, click it and drag it down.
