Setting TouchPad preferences
Mouse Properties in Windows allows you to customize pointing 
device settings, including:
■ TouchPad tapping, which enables you to tap the TouchPad 
once to select an object or twice to double-click an object 
(enabled by default).
■ Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even 
though your finger has reached the edge of the TouchPad 
(disabled by default).
■ Button preference, which allows you to switch between 
left-hand and right-hand use (right-hand preference is 
enabled by default). With some application software, you can 
program the center button for special functions.
Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails, 
are also found in Mouse Properties.
To access Mouse Properties:
» Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > 
Mouse.
