One of the things I personally find very annoying and apparently so do our users is the tapping that happens on notebook touchpads. On these touchpads, you can imitate a mouse click by tapping the pad with your finger. However, the problem with this is that quite often when just trying to move the mouse pointer a tap is initiated. This is annoying when using the internet because you can accidentally click links.

I have many times clicked logout links by accident or some other link and lost work online due to this. So anyway, lets look at how you can disable the tapping feature on notebooks with Vista.

To turn off tapping:

  • Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse
  • Click the Device Settings tab -> Tapping
  • Uncheck the checkbox “Enable Tapping”
  • Note: this may look slightly different depending on your touchpad
