Not really what you want, but we’re getting there. You want “Mouse” settings (why there’s no “Mouse / Touchpad” or similar I don’t fully understand, just as it’s puzzling that there are Tablet options when my laptop isn’t a tablet and doesn’t support that functionality. You’ll now see the many, many different ways you can customize your Vista experience. As is typical in Vista, there’s a way to tweak what you want, but it involves a couple of steps…įirst off, choose Control Panels off the START (uh, Vista logo) menu on the lower left of your computer screen: I can’t say for sure that’ll happen in the PC world, but I certainly don’t expect any future Apple laptops to have discrete buttons to push for button behaviors in the operating system.ĭon’t want to do that? That’s okay. So my first thought is that this might be a behavior that you just need to train yourself to work with rather than disable, so as you hop from laptop to laptop in future years you’ll be ready for the potential elimination of “mouse” buttons.
Definitely something you have to get used to, but once you do, it’s pretty cool.
Heck, on the latest Apple MacBook line, there’s no button at all: the trackpad is both the dragging and tapping surface. Then you go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" and do the same renaming to "sermouse.sys".Īlso in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\en-US" the same to ""Īfter all that go to Control panel - devices - mice - right click on the PS/2 mouse and "disable".I’m not sure when that started to be popular, but just about all trackpads now seem to have the ability to detect taps in addition to sliding fingers, so it’s quite common now to find computers – Mac and PC – that have the capability you’re talking about. To do that you will need to take ownership of the file : right click, security, advanced, owner, edit, change owner to administrators, all the way back out, then properties (again), security, edit, get the administrators in and give them full control. Find "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\msmouse.inf_amd64_neutral_7a5f47d3150cc0eb"Īnd inside this directory find "sermouse.sys" which you must rename to "" (or something). When Windows loads it will still see the "mouse/trackpad" but will not be able to load he PS/2 mouse drivers. You need to disable the built-in drivers for this "PS/2 mouse". So that when Windows loads it sees a normal mouse connected and installs its standard drivers. Many trackpads appear as normal mice under Windows. If there is a "Dell touchpad" or "synaptics " or whatever touchpad you have you need to disable it, if there is a disable option.
