E4600. Does touching the trackpoint or touchpad register as a left click sometimes?

i've noticed now, and it's annoying that sometimes when i touch the trackpoint or touchpad LIGHTLY, like just right before i use it, it'll register it as a left click and i'll end up dragging things around instead of moving the cursor. so now i try to plan and leave the cursor at an area of the screen/desktop where it won't select anything. happens maybe 5% of the time, but since i use those pointing devices so much it's annoying. doesn't happen when i have a mouse though btw.

 

Yes it does, it's supposed to. It's called "Tap to Click". If it annoys you, turn it off the following way (assuming you're using the standard Dell touchpad drivers):
Go C:\Program Files\DellTPad (that's the standard location), and open "DellTPad". Click "Touchpad Settings" and uncheck "Tap to Click".

That should do it.

 

nice! thanks
