Setting Pen Preferences
You can customize several pen behaviors in the operating system to help make
using your Tablet-PC more comfortable. For example, if your double-taps are
sometimes not recognized because you do not tap them fast enough, you can
set a slower speed so that you have more time to tap. You can customize the
visual feedback that displays for each type of tap, and you can customize the
actions assigned to pen flicks.
→ Control Panel→
To access pen preferences and options, click Start
Mobile PC→ Pen and Input Devices.

trails, are set in the Mouse Properties window. These preferences apply to any
pointing device in the system. To access pointing device preferences, select
→ Control Panel→ Hardware and Sound→ Mouse.
