Put Your Right-Click Button to Better Use with ClickZap
I am always looking for ways to do things faster and one of those things is to shut down the computer faster, or log off a particular XP user account. It gets a little irritating having to always go through the start menu so I started experimenting with desktop shortcuts to streamline the process. Now I am trying out a feature which you can use using the right-click button on your mouse. It’s called Clickzap.
Upon installation, you’ll be asked what feature you want your right-click button to do (you can only choose one at a time). So if you log in and out of user accounts a lot, you might decide to choose that one. Or if you have to mute all PC sounds on a regular basis, you might decide that is the best use of Clickzap. Everything is easily configurable so you can change the settings later if you want to. There are 8 tasks you can choose from:
- lock computer
- log-off
- shutdown
- minimize active window
- minimize all windows
- close active window
- close all windows
- mute sound
When everything has been set up and configured, all you have to then do is double-click the right-click button on your mouse and the required action will be carried out (on some pages, you may have to click three times if a double right-click has been disabled by the website in question).




Hey, that’s pretty neat! Things just keep getting faster and faster. That “minimize all windows” function sounds quite handy.
The ‘Minimize all windows’ feature can be added by placing a quick launch “show desktop” button…
