Windows on a Mac and 2-button Mouse solution

I recently installed Windows XP on my MacBook Pro to test out Boot Camp and seeing how it ran on my MacBook Pro. I quickly came across a problem when trying to emulate a right-click since my trackpad only has one mouse button.

I came across this opensource utility for Windows, Autohotkey and remapped the “Apple” key as the right mouse button. The command to remap the key was:

Lwin::RButton
