right-clicking with trackpad?

In Parallels Workstation, the MacBook's right-click option (two fingers on pad, then click) works beautifully. It doesn't, of course, if booted directly into Windows through BootCamp. Is there a workaround of some sorts? Can one emulate a right-click in Windows using a MacBook or MacBook Pro? I've connected a mouse with three buttons right now, but that's not an option for when I'm on the go...

I would assume that since the trackpad and button appear to windows as simply a trackpad and button that it would require a software solution.

The "two-fingers right-click, scrolling, etc." thing is software-based in Mac OS X, so I would assume that a software solution would be required in Windows as well.

Beyond that, sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Yeah. I'd hope Apple themselves would add a driver solution for that for Windows. Although... Maybe there would be a solution by installing a different driver for the trackpad. But I don't want to mess too much with drivers. After all, I bought a _Mac_, haven't I. :P

Hate to sound dumb here , but do you download the app into the windows partition or osx one? I'm hoping this may help my sticky trackpad problem.

That wouldn't solve something like that, actually. It's simply a software solution to add another mouse button by using a modifier key.

Windows, of course. the sticky trackpad stuff should go in your thread about it, not here.
