Mouse

You move the mouse on your desktop until its corresponding on-screen pointer is Pointing to the Icon or other element you want to work with.
Pointing to element enables you to open, move, copy, delete, and otherwise Manipulate the element.

You can press and release the left mouse button, called clicking, while you're pointing to an element. This action selects the element. In most cases, when I tell you to "click the mouse," you press the left mouse button. Sometimes, however, I might specify that you Right-Click, which means you should click the right mouse button instead of the left. When you point to an element and click the right button, you'll see a pop-up, or shortcut, menu from which you can choose a command.

If you click the mouse button and continue to hold the button down, you can move the mouse, and the selected item, across the desktop. This action is called Dragging, or click and drag. You drag an item to move it to another location.

Finally, you will often be told to double-click. This means to press and release the left mouse button twice in quick succession. Double-clicking an icon or other item opens the item, activates a command, and so on.

Now for a little bit about keeping the little rascal clean.
You will usually be able to tell if your mouse is in need of a cleaning. Usually your cursor will not move around on the screen to well, and you get so mad at this point you just want to throw the darn thing across the room.. BUT STOP!!!!

On most mice, all you have to do is turn it over and take the cover off where the ball is.. once open, take the ball out and you will see usually 3 rollers, no matter how hard you try to keep the mouse pad clean these rollers in there will get gunked up with hair, lint etc, they sell mouse cleaners out at your favorite computer store, or office store, but if you need to clean it right away, just try to get all the gunk off those rollers and you will be good to go.
