Basic Operation
Operating Your Computer
In addition, you can tap the touch pad to select items and use other advanced touch pad
features. For more information, double-click the touch pad icon in the taskbar, then click
Help in the tab for a particular feature.
You can use Mouse in Control Panel or the touch pad icon in the taskbar to customize the
operation of your computer's pointing devices (pointing stick, touch pad, and external
mouse): you can change the left, right, and scroll button actions, double-click speed,
pointer speed, and more.
Scrolling with the scroll button
Press the lower end of the scroll button to scroll down through the contents of a
window. Press the upper end to scroll up.
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 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.
