    I hope that makes sense.. I'm trying to disable it.. so that whenever I touch my mousepad twice it doesn't click.

    That's the most annoying thing ever lol.. I browsed the mouse properties but couldn't find anything. I'm probably skipping right over it..

    P.s. this Laptop is amazing. -.-;

    I don't want to disable the touchpad.. I only want to disable the ability to click on something by touching the touchpad twice in a row.

    I don't believe that option is available in trackpad adjustments. The only option that I can think of is use a different track pad driver. I have no idea if any others work with the 6860 track pad (probably none). I know most P6860 owners just use an external mouse, I know that's what I do. I hate all track pads, I've never used one that I liked.

    go to device settings, properties, tapping, then uncheck the box.
