Scrolling with the scroll button
• Hold down the scroll button and move the pointer using the pointing stick. The
contents of the window scroll in the direction you move the pointer.
To configure the pointing devices
You can customize the operation of your computer’s pointing devices (pointing stick,
touch pad, and external PS/2 or serial mouse). You can change the left, right, and scroll
button actions, double-click speed, pointer speed, and more. For details, click Help in the
Mouse window.
• Double-click the touch pad icon in the task bar.

To disable one pointing device
If you prefer to use only one of your computer’s built-in pointing devices, you can
disable the other. For example, if you notice that your hand inadvertently contacts the
touch pad and moves the cursor while you’re typing, consider disabling the touch pad.
1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click Mouse.
–or–
Double-click the touch pad icon in the taskbar.
2. Click the Touch tab, and select the device you want to disable from the pull-down
menu.
3. Select Disable This Device near the bottom of the window.
4. Click OK.
