Desktop menu??”Right-click the desktop to see a menu of common tasks. The menu
provides a quick way to access your bookmarks; create new folders, files, or devices
(with devices, you??™re actually choosing to mount a device on a particular part of the file

desktop to your mouse depend on which button you click and where the mouse pointer is located.
