    Greetings,

    When I purchased my Lenovo X220 I thought I could toggle the touchpad with the Fn+F8 button. I type alot and really hate having my palms move the cursor all over the screen when typing. However, I did a fresh windows install after I got my machine and found the Fn+F8 doesn't toggle the touchpad.

    I downloaded the UltraNav Utility/Drivers, but doesn't actually toggle it on/off. The UltraNav Utility only brings a menu up asking to "enable Trackpoint/Touchpad or Turn off Only Trackpoint/Touchpad", but not turn off all features.

    Does anyone know if there is a setting within UltraNav Utility to set the Fn+F8 to simply turn off the trackpoint/touchpad?

    You need the Hotkey Features driver installed.
