While touch-typing, as a casual sweep of a finger will destroy work in strange ways. I am a mouse user, and 78, with an unwelcome shake in my hands (you can't fix that). Past laptops have provided the user with a function key that would allow the touchpad to be switched on or off. I need that ability. Help, and thanks.

Double tap the top left corner of the touch pad. If the touch pad functions normally after double tapping, the double tap control function is enabled.
- In the control panel, select Hardware and Sound. Select Devices and Printers. Select Mouse.
- Select the Device Settings tab. Click Settings.
- Select Tapping. Click the settings icon.
- Uncheck "Double Tap to Enable or Disable Touch Pad".
