Disabling one pointing device (model with pointing stick)
If you prefer to use only one of your computer's built-in pointing devices, you can
disable the other. We recommend this practice to optimize performance. For example, if
you notice that your hand inadvertently contacts the touch pad and moves the cursor
while you're typing, consider disabling the touch pad.
1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Mouse (Windows 98 or 2000),
or click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Mouse (Windows XP).
–or–
Double-click the touch pad icon in the taskbar.
2. Click the touch tab, and select the device you want to disable or adjust from the pull-
down menu.
3. Select Disable This Device near the bottom of the window.
–or–
Turn off the option that responds to tapping or pressing.
4. Click OK.
