Remember the days of the one-button mouse? Ahh, things were much less complicated back then. But simple is not always better!Most people these days can't live without a two-button mouse, and in fact many of us have gotten used to using the click wheel as a 3rd mouse button, for things like closing open tabs in our browser. Without adding yet another button to your mouse, there is a way to get another action out of it. This is by cleverly using a double right-click gesture.
Think about it - you use the double click on the left mouse button constantly. Why not have a double click on the right one? If you'd like to add this functionality to your machine go ahead and download ClickZap, a very small utility for Windows machines that adds this very feature.
ClickZap offers the following actions that can be set for the double right-click:
- Lock Computer
- Log Off Computer
- Shutdown Computer
- Minimize Active Window
- Minimize All Windows
- Close Active Window
- Close All Windows
- Mute Sound

I think shutting down your computer by double right clicking is a bit extreme. Accidentally double clicking a mouse button happens to me every now and then and I would hate for my computer to shut down everytime I bumped the mouse wrong.

The first mouse I bought had four buttons, since then I generally try to get five button mice. But I'm not normal, I used to do a lot of CAD work. But for the average computer user, one button really is enough, and better because it forces the (smart) application designers to create interfaces that a simple and elegant.

Other James, I beg to differ. The brilliance behind a 2-button mouse (and the reason Macs are full of terrible design ideas...) is that you have a button that says "do the most common action", and another button that says "tell me what other actions I can take", e.g. bring up a context menu.
