HOW TO MAKE USE OF A COMPUTER MOUSE

Step 1: Pick up your mouse and have a look at it.

At the front (which points away from you), there are two buttons – left and right. You press or, more correctly, ‘click’ these to make things happen.
Most mice also have a wheel in between the buttons that you roll to move up and down the screen – technically called ‘scrolling’.

Step 2: Learn to hold your mouse comfortably. It’s normally held between your thumb and little finger like this:



Step 3: Have a click. Use your index finger to click the left button and your middle finger to click the right button. If you’re left-handed, you can use the opposite fingers. However, you can also usually change the preferences on your computer to swap which buttons do what.
Step 4:  Try a double-click. This is done quite often on the left button. You have to click twice, as quickly as possible. The first click tells the computer that you are in a particular ‘window’, and the second click tells it that you’re selecting a button or link or whatever to do something in that window. If you click too slowly, the computer just thinks you’re telling it where you are again and again, so do click quickly. - See more at: http://digitalunite.com/guides/computer-basics/how-use-mouse#sthash.b6pKoC75.dpuf
