    Hey.

    I use a wirless mouse.
    I want to disable the one that is on the N100.
    It drives me crazu when I am typing on word, as I, with my big hands, keep touching it excedently - which sends all sorts of orders I dont want (the most common one is that I excedently marks a line and as I keep wiring I ecedently deleting her (goos thing there is that "undo" button).
    But its getting frustrating !!!

    Is it pissible to disable it periodeclly then ?
    Thanks !!!!!

    Well, with my T60, you simply press Fn + F8. That will bring up the UlrtaNav Device Settings. However, this might only be for ThinkPads... try it and let me know.

    On almost every laptop I've seen, if you go into the Control Panal and click on "Mouse", there should be an option to disable the touch pad.

    In my opinion, using a touch pad is a throw-back to kindergarden and finger painting. Real men (and women) use mice!
