Setting Pointing Device Preferences
Mouse Properties in Windows enables you to change custom
settings for pointing devices, including:
■ Enabling or disabling 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.
To access Mouse Properties:
■ In Windows 2000 Professional, select Start > Settings >
control Panel > Mouse icon.
■ In Windows XP Professional, select Start > Control Panel >
printers and Other Hardware > mouse icon.
■ In Windows XP Home, select Start > Control Panel >
printers and Other Hardware > mouse icon.
