How can I right click in Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection while in OS X

Either using two finger tap, or two finger "click" (by pressing down on the touchpad).

  • CTRL + ALT + END : Opens the Microsoft Widnows NT security dialog box.

This is kind of embarrassing, but the real problem was I didn't know how to right click with a touchpad on the macbook (it was still less than a month old). Update: You can do this by clicking or tapping with both fingers at the same time.
