With Windows XP on a MacBook Pro, how do you click as if you had a second mouse button? What is the substitute for Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

According to the Microsoft Help & Support Site, by default, Windows XP provides a keyboard-only equivalent for the second mouse button by typing “Shift+F10”. This “opens a shortcut menu for the selected item [which] is the same as right-clicking an object.” If you are accustomed to “Control Clicking” on the Mac, you likely would find it more convenient to download and install the “Apple Mouse Utility”, a tiny 15k freeware third-party program that makes Windows behave as if you have clicked a second mouse button when you hold down “Control” and click the mouse. Just like on MacOS X. You can quit the program by pressing the “ScrollLock key”. If you find the Apple Mouse Utility to be helpful, it would be kind to support the author by making a contribution to its continued development. For more extensive options, you might like to evaluate “Input Remapper”.
