How to right click using the Macbook trackpad on Windows 7

As I mentioned in my previous post I’ve just installed Windows 7 on my Macbook and one of the issues I’ve come across is the lack of a right click button on the trackpad.

Here’s a way to get right clicking without having to plug in an external mouse:

  • Make sure you have run the Bootcamp installer from the Mac OS X disk so that all of the correct drivers are loaded for Windows 7.
  • Right clicking should now be possible by placing two fingers on the trackpad, then click the trackpad button.
  • Be careful not to install future trackpad updates via Windows Update as I’ve heard that this could disable the ability to right click.
