Set a key to enable right mouse button click during a connection

A Windows mouse has two mouse buttons, a right button and a left button. If you have a single-button mouse connected to your Macintosh computer, you can set a modifier key so that when the key is held down and the mouse button is clicked, the Windows-based computer will recognize it as a click of the right mouse button (right-click).

  1. In the Remote Desktop Connection window, click Options.
  2. On the Local Resources tab, under Recognize a click as a right-click when these keys are held down, select the check box next to the key you want. If you select more than one key, you must hold down all of those keys when you want to right-click an item on the Windows-based computer.
  3. Click Connect.
