Setting Pointing Device Preferences

The TouchPad and the dual pointing device are supported by the
mouse software in the operating system. To access the custom
mouse settings available through the operating system:
■
In Windows 2000 Professional, select Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Mouse.
■
In Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional, select
Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware >
Mouse icon.
Among the settings you can select are:
■
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 cursor
unintentionally if your palms contact the TouchPad as
you type.
Other features, such as mouse trails and mouse speed preferences,
are available. To discover them, look through the tabs in the
Mouse Properties window. To learn more about a feature, select
the question mark in the upper right corner of the window, then
select the feature. To select a setting, follow the instructions on
the screen, then select the OK button.
