Synaptics touchpad

[JTMMNM]

I wish someone could tell me how to turn off this touchpad.  It really interferes with my typing.

Welcome to the support community.

To disable the Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad feature, open the TouchPad tab in Mouse Properties.

1. Click Start , and then type mouse in the search field.

2. Click Change your mouse settings.

3. Click Additional mouse options.

   

4. In Mouse Properties, click the TouchPad tab.

   NOTE: 

   Some HP notebooks have an HP Control Zone tab. If your notebook has this tab, open it and click HP Control Zone Disable.

    

   If the properties window does not have a TouchPad option, then the TouchPad functionality is not available.

5. Uncheck Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad.

   

   NOTE: 

   If the option is not available on the Mouse Properties window, click Settings to open the Synaptics Control Panel. On the Click tab, uncheck Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad.

6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
