Problem: emulating a right click/control click in a Windows VM on a Mac host with Mac's one-button trackpad.
Quick work around: You can put two fingers on trackpad and click to simulate right click.
Cleaner solution as suggested by Muffin Research Labs is to use AutoHotKey to enable use of control-click to emulate right-click:
- Download and install AutoHotKey.
- Right click on contrl-left-remap.ahk and save to Windows VM.
- Double click on contrl-left-remap.ahk, while it will appear nothing happens you should now be able to control-click on things and Windows should behave like you right-clicked (e.g. you'll get the context menu if you click on a file).
- To have this persist past a reboot, copy contrl-left-remap.ahk to C:/Program Files/All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup
