Mac bits and pieces on a PC

    Quick couple of questions...

    The iMac USB Keyboard (with the handy built in 2 port hub) seems to work nicely in Windows XP SP1. Would anyone know if it's possible to remap keys (via some third party app perhaps) so that, for example, the Apple key becomes the Start key?

    Then there's the Mac one-button mouse. I plugged this into a Win XP computer and it worked fine ... except I didn't know what to do for a right click... can anyone enlighten me there?

    Not sure of the re-mapping for the keys.

    However,

    Right clicking - hold control key down and then click.

    Just tried that and it didn't work.

    That would be the solution when the apple keyboard and mouse are plugged into a Mac. However, it's for when it's plugged into a Win XP PC that I'm curious about.

    [edit]: Just checked again and hitting the apple key DOES translate to hitting the Start key (automatically), so ye can ignore that particular question :)

    If you go into the accessability settings in windows you can map a key to right click. :)
