right click??

I was told you could change a setting and enable a right click on the mouse button instead of holding down control... anyone know?

Well, on a desktop Mac with a Mighty Mouse or other mult-button mouse you can go to System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Mouse and configure the buttons to do whatever you want. What you would call right-click is listed as "Secondary Click" because it predates a right-click button on the Mac in the form of CTRL + Click.

Similar settings can be found for later PowerBooks and all MacBooks in trackpad settings - it's two fingers on the trackpad for a secondary click.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.
