Left click right click Double click: click the left mouse button twice in rapid succession. Mouse pointer: arrow or hand that tells you where your actions will take place on the screen. (p.109) To click or not to click? One left click is enough for many programs, internet links, etc. Two quick left clicks are usually reserved for opening files, programs, etc. on your desktop.

The mouse should be on a clean hard place and easily moved by dragging it. Mouse pads are a good idea. If it starts acting strange, use a can of air to blow out the dust from the bottom of the mouse. A couple blasts of air is all that is needed. If it is wireless, check the batteries, too.
