Mouse Operations in Windows 11
Mouse is an important input device in a graphical user environment like Windows where the user has to do simple
mouse clicks to get the job done. Windows 11 is designed to make the mouse easier to use. Let us now see how
useful this pointing device is in Windows 11.
Single-click
click
This is the most common task performed by a mouse in Windows 11. We can select a
program, file, folder, menu, sub-menu, option, etc. using a single left mouse click. Whichever
option is to be selected, move the mouse pointer to point to that area and do a single left
mouse click to select that option.

Double-click
When we use the left button to click twice in quick succession, then, it is called a double click.
We generally use double click to open a file/folder, to open a specific program or application
software.
Right-click click
To display context based pop-up menu or shortcut menu, we use the right mouse button click.
For example right clicking on a cell in a spreadsheet gives you important formatting features of
the cell.
release
press move Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop is used to shift the location of a file, folder or a program.
We select an object and press the left button down. Without releasing the
mouse button, drag the object to a new location and release the mouse
button to drop it onto a new location.
Hovering
Hovering means moving the cursor over an option or an object without clicking it. This action can trigger certain
responses from the operating system or software applications, such as displaying tooltips, changing the cursor
shape, or highlighting the element.
Performing Basic File Operations
In a school or office, each teacher has a dedicated cabinet where they organise files for different students or
classes on individual shelves. Similarly, a computer stores information in electronic files, which are organised
into separate folders. Managing these electronic files is much easier, as they can be effortlessly copied, moved,
renamed, or deleted.
