right-click

You can right-click just about anything on the screen to see a menu of options relevant to that
item.
If the item you right-clicked can be customized in any way, shape, or form, you’ll see a Properties option
in the menu. An item’s properties are its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and so forth.
Choosing the Properties option will take you to the dialog box for changing that item’s properties.
If the item you right-clicked can be moved, renamed, deleted, and so forth, you’ll see appropriate
options. You can never do any harm by right-clicking an item, so don’t be afraid to try it. If, for whatever
reason, the item you right-clicked has no shortcut menu, nothing will happen when you right-click. If you
right-click an item, and then decide not to make a selection from the shortcut menu, just click some
neutral area outside the shortcut menu, or press the trusty Escape key, to close the menu without
making a selection.
