Can You Add Return Key or Go Function to Right Mouse Click

Is there any way to include or program in the Return or Go function on a right mouse click. It would be more efficient. For example, you paste in a URL address in your address box and then you either have to press return or move the mouse over to the go button and click it. It seems to me that if you could just use that function from the right mouse click it would be a lot more efficient.

Some mice have extra side buttons for additional functions like "Return" or "GO". If yours has the extra side buttons, their functions are usually assignable in the mouse driver that came with the mouse.

I wouldn't recommend assigning a different action to the normal right-click, since if anyone else uses your computer, they will probably assume the usual function of the right-click = which is to show an options box for the object (Open, Edit, Rename, SendTo, Properties, etc) and could create some difficulty. If you wish to try it anyway, you'll need to assign some other button or key the right-click function so that you can access the options box without having to go up to the "File" menu.

You should be able to access your mouse driver by looking in the Control Panel - Mouse. Some are also accessible from the Programs menu, or a mouse icon in your System tray.

Best of luck
