    Specifically to assign the right part of the clicker to right click and if that's impossible to use the mac's two finger tap to right click

    And is there a way to switch from having to press down Fn to use the F functions to making the F1~F12 default?

    I hope I'm semi-coherent here

    Okay, so I found the Fkey options.

    How do I right click? And is it possible to click just by tapping the touch pad?

    two fingers right clicks, same as in OS X. As for the function keys, I know you can switch them in OS X via system preference, but I'm not sure about XP.

    Tapping is not supported in XP as far as I know, and also, you can't click on the right side of the clicker to right click. You'd still have to use two fingers on the pad and click.
