To Use The One-Touch Buttons - HP Pavilion n5000 - Notebook PC Reference Manual

Note
= To disable the touch pad, press the Pad Lock button. (The amber touch pad indicator
lights.) To reenable it, press the Pad Lock button again. You may wish to disable the
touch pad, for example, when you are entering text and do not want to move the
cursor accidentally. Avoid contact with the touch pad itself at the same time you are
pressing the Pad Lock button (to disable or to reenable); simultaneous contact will not
allow the Pad Lock button to work properly.
To customize the operation of the touch pad (and an external PS/2 or serial mouse, if
installed), double-click the Synaptics Touch Pad icon to access Mouse Properties; you
will find the icon in the taskbar, toward the lower right corner of your screen. Select the
tab corresponding to the characteristics you want to configure, including:
= button configuration for right-handed or left-handed operation (Button tab for mouse,
Button Actions tab for touch pad)
= double-click speed, pointer speed, and pointer trail
= click sensitivity
The touch pad is by default inactive when an external mouse is installed. You can enable
both touch pad and an external pointing device by changing the BIOS setting. See
"Using the BIOS Setup Utility" on page 82

To use the One-Touch buttons

The One-Touch buttons on your HP notebook allow you to start your e-mail or a Web
browser—or any other application—by pressing a single button. The buttons are
configured initially for specific applications, but you can change the configuration to start
any applications you want.
When you press a One-Touch button, the name of the application that's starting appears
onscreen. You can modify the appearance of the name by selecting the color, size, and
style you prefer.

2. Double-click Keyboard.
3. Select the One-Touch buttons tab.
