Windows is an Operating System that enables a computer user to use mouse on small screen pictures (called icons) to control the computer.

Pressing down the Right mouse button does this.

This means clicking the left mouse twice (you have to be fast in doing this). Note the left Mouse is mostly used in clicking, so when you hear click, it means the left mouse, if then you are required to right-click, it will be mention the right mouse is usually used as a short-cut of doing something. As we proceed, you’ll learn all these.

This feature is usually used when selecting files or folders, etc.

1. Hold down the left mouse,

2. Then move the mouse. In other words I can simply say click and drag the mouse.
