Control-click files doesn't work in a windows folder

This is wierd: If I have a directory open, say in my documents, and the folder is Viewed by details. If I left click on a file and then select another file and control-click on it, it will act as if I am right clicking on the second file (the little flyout window with preview/edit/print/etc.). I can click on a file and then shift-select multiple files, but I can't select various files using what should be a standard mouse technique.

I am using a wireless bluetooth mighty mouse and use parallels stock built in mouse driver.

I can command click select multiple files on the macintosh finder, but not on the windows side. I have tried all various command/option/control click but nothing works.

thanks,
Jim

 

Please see Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide on page 227

The manual linked to in that last post is for v3.0 and shows a blank page for page 227.
The previous pages don't seem to address the issue.
The help screens for v4 don't mention any setting for this either.
Other thoughts?

 

Using CTL-Click in windows sometimes has a different function (in word for example) and to do a right click you may need another method. Your mighty mouse should be able to do a right click anyway or if you have a trackpad most of them can now be set to recognise a right click in system preferences on the main mac OS
