Windows & Right Click Menus

Hi! I’m Ross. Thanks for visiting expertvillage.com. What can we do with computer files? Let’s find out. Let’s talk about the context sensitive menus. Right now, I’m in Windows Explorer. I’m going to right click one of the files and it brings up this menu. It’s context sensitive because it brings up the options that you’re most likely to use. There is many more, like for instance, if you’re in a word processor and highlight a word, you could cut, copy, and paste. There are other things you could do but they put the most common ones in the context sensitive menu. The thing to know in a context sensitive menu, especially in windows explorer here, is that one of the words is in bold. In this case, it’s Open. Whatever word is bold is the default operation when you double click it with the left button. So if I was just to double click this one, it would go ahead and open it. If I right click it it gives me options.
