    I just got my new HP dv6t Select Edition, I love it so far! The only thing thats been bugging me is the touchpad. I'm not used to having the feature where if you tap the touchpad, it works as a click and I keep accidentally clicking things. I would like to disable it and went into the settings for the "mouse"/touchpad, but couldn't find any option about disabling that tapping feature. Anyone else know of how I might be able to do that?

    For me, I follow these steps if I wanted to turn off tapping:
    -right click Synaptics Pointing Device in the task bar and click Touchpad Properties
    -uncheck "tapping"
    -apply settings
