If you mean you want to single click to load a program instead of double-clicking, do the following.
Open the Control Panel and select Classic View in the left hand column. Then double click on Folder Options. On the General tab, in the last section, select Single Click to Open an Item, click Apply then OK, and that's it.
Ok thankyou KirkD. That wasn't what I wanted to do - I wanted to completely disable tapping on the touchpad but still use the touchpad for moving the pointer and scrolling. For some reason I wasn't able to get into the Touchpad properties yesterday but can today?? So I have managed to resolve it now by unchecking the tap to click box. Thanks for your help though. :)
KirkD: I tried this and the selection is greyed out and not available. The double click is selected and can't be changed. Using Vista on 1330. This problem has come up recently. Any ideas? Fritz
