Pointing Stick, TouchPad and Dual Device Preferences
All pointing devices are supported by the mouse software in your
operating system. All dual pointing stick–TouchPad components
are enabled by default. To access the custom settings available in
the software:
■ In Windows 2000 Professional, select Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Mouse icon.
■ In Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel > Printers and
Other Hardware > Mouse icon.
Among the features in Mouse Properties:
■ Enable or disable a pointing device.
■ TouchPad tapping, which enables you to tap the TouchPad
once to select an object or twice to double-click an object.
■ Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even
though your finger has reached the edge of the TouchPad.
■ Palm Check, which helps prevent moving the pointer
unintentionally if your palms contact the TouchPad
as you type.
Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails,
are also found in the Mouse Properties windows.
