Computer question

(I'm actually an Industrial Revolution technologist)

I have a Lenovo laptop W7. I use a USB mouse with it. Is there some easy way to dosable the touch pad as I often suddenly find myself typing in a different part of the page having accidentally brushed the pad.

Thanks!

1. On Windows 7: Control Panel

--> Mouse --> Click on "Advanced" tab --> Click on "Advanced feature settings" button --> Click on "Others" tab

In "USB Mouse Connection" box, select "Touch Pad is automatically invalidated"

2. What kept you?

I mean 2 minutes? I had to wait 2 minutes?

Thanks!:yourock:

3. My HP laptop has a small button above it that does that.

It takes enough pressure to toggle the setting that I've never accidentally changed it.
