Depending what you're doing, each button has a different purpose.
Maybe someone can go into greater detail.

It depends on if you're right or left handed. Whatever way you want to set it up in your hardware.

By default the left button is used for selecting and the right button generally shows a menu of options for ther particular application.

By launching the Mouse icon in Control Panel you can change the default settings for your mouse. Most importantly you can reverse the left and right mouse buttons...

This is brief but hope it helps...

If you've got a three-button or scroll mouse, your list of options becomes vast indeed. Logitech MouseWare includes a "Webwheel" function for web navigation as well.
