How do I deactivate my touchpad?

Touchpad is a small sensitized surface built into the notebook on which the finger runs the finger moving the mouse cursor. Some keyboards on the desktop are also equipped with built -in touch. Clicking the pad acts as a click and double click as a double click. Vertical scrolling can be moved by moving the finger along the right edge of the pad and horizontal by sliding using the lower edge. Most pads can also be deactivated by setting up in proprietary software for devices. In Windows® operating systems, this is called a system tank. Macintosh® and Linux® users have the equivalent. Clicking the mouse icon provokes the interface necessary to deactivate the touchpads does not contain an icon of mouse or touchpad, go to the control panel. The path to the control panel varies depending on the operating system. On Windows® XP, click Start and then highlight Settings and get a side menu with the control panel. If you cannot find the control panel, use a system search function to search for a folder with the same name. Once the control panel is inside, go down to the mouse icon and click on it.

Many touchpads use Synaptics® drivers and software, although there are several versions of this software. Try looking for a card header or menu tree called Device Settings and find the control for deactivation of the device. If your software does not have a device setting card or control of the pad deactivation is not on this tab, try the help menu. Macintosh and Linux have its own versions of the control panel, which will also lead to touch settings navigation through the mouse options.

There may be the possibility to use external mouse and touchpad within the software. In other cases, selecting one of these options will remove the other or control for PAD deactivation can be independent of external settingsmice.

Some notebooks have both the touchpad and a direct rod, a small red nub in the center of the keyboard that resembles a rubber. It may not be possible to deactivate both devices simultaneously, but the riding bar should not interfere with the external mice.

There are plenty of reasons to deactivate the touchpad. Editing and playing videos are two examples of activities that better operate an external mouse. However, you may want to ban due to poor performance during routine use of the computer. Perhaps the pad behaves irregularly, is not sensitive enough, is too sensitive or is simply not set to your liking. All these problems can be solved by securing controls are installed and the configuration settings are tuned to taste. After modifying the software, you could decide to keep it and save problems with an external device.
