On Windows operating systems, the right mouse button (if you are left handed and have the mouse setup for left handed use, it would be the left mouse button) is used to display Context Menus. These menus contain shortcuts to various common commands. In a word processor, it may contains Cut/Copy/Paste commands. In a web browser, it may contain Back/Forward/Stop/Refresh commands. The commands contained within a Context Menu really isn't standard, although many programs that do the same thing as the other may have very similar menus. Its best to check the help documentation for more information.
If you are running a version of Linux with a Desktop Manager, the same thing applies. It would all come down to what application you are running.
