Of course there is. Try using the key to the right of the Windows key on the
right and to the left of the right Control key.

Try the key to the left of the PrntScrn key that has a picture of what may
be a dropdown menu and an arrow and also try Shift+F10.

Ah! So then does that make me stupid? I see it, now it looks obvious but I
have honestly never realised that!!! Never did I know their was a right
click key!!
Call me stupid! I never realised it was their all along so obvious. Now you
say that, yes it is obvious. But thre must be millions of other people who
do not know that this it he right click key.
 
Hi hi,
Yes yes I have got it now I see it!! But but how was I supposed to know that
this arrow plus something that look like a ladder or a server, it looks
like the picture of anything, but not a right click menu..

NO way, could I guess what that key was! All this time it has been on te
keybaord right in front of my nose!! I feel dumb!

A guy named Donald Norman wrote a very nice book, "The Psychology of
Everyday Things." In it he explains good and horrible products. He
also explains that only with computers do you seem to blame yourself
when you can't figure out how to use it. That keeps you from blaming
the people who made the software.
 
Since the "computer" is merely a box containing software. The "anger" is
usually misdirected at the computer rather than the software/authors
which SHOULD receive the blame.

Hi Alias,
I know you did not, I am saying "Call me stupid" because well it is an
"expression" I did not literally mean to say You called me Stupid cause I
know you did not. I mean "call me stupid' cuz its such a dumb thing to have
been usign it for an entire year or more, as a power user and not come
across that thing. :) Hope you get what I mean

EVERYBODY wants to make certain that the finger points at SOMEBODY ELSE!

That is one of those really interesting little snippets of info that is
probably quite a complex reason but quite true I'm sure. If you were to
analyse that little snippet you would probably find their is some deep
rooted psychology in their somewhere!
