how do I set icon size with a one button mouse?

Hi All,

I had to remote into a Vista machine (WS08R2) from
an Apple that only had one button mouse
(AAAAHHHH!!). I had to move to a Vista
machine to remote in and change the icon size
as I could not get that stinkin' apple to right click
with any combination of keys and mouse clicks.

Now that it no longer matters, is there some
other way to change you icon size when you only
have one button on your mouse? Something in Control
Panel maybe?

Many thanks,
-T

ISTR that Control-click (that is, the key labeled Ctl on the Mac) has that
functionality. Clicking and holding the mouse button also works, IIRC.

Ctl+click did not work. Holding the mouse button pulls up some
annoying over windows showing you everything that is running.

Any idea how to do it with one button?
