Mouse/touchpad tapping--turn off

Running Win Vista on Toshiba laptop with Synaptics touchpad.

How can I turn off mouse (or touchpad) tapping?

Thanks for your help.

The properties and options for the touchpad will be in the Control Panel.

The touchpad device can be disabled with a "disable" button on the Driver
tab in the Properties of the touchpad device in Device manager.
(start/orb/type: devmgmt.msc)

Thanks for your help.

In Control Panel under hardware/mouse there is no adjustment or turn-off
option for tapping. Or at least I can't find it. In WinXP there was.

He just wants to disable the tap-for-click.

I'm not very familiar with Toshiba laptops, but there may be some sort of
Toshiba configuration centre software.

Try these steps:

Control Panel
Mouse
Mouse Properties
Device Settings
Settings
Tappings

check or uncheck the box "enable tapping"

You can also adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad here
