Auto Disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB Mouse is connected
HI
Anyone any idea how to get the " Auto Disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB Mouse is connected" feature active again. I found an old entry in a forum that referenced changing a setting in Registry to Hex 33 and implied that this would make the OPTION become visible in the Mouse settings in Control Panel. But it appeared to simply disable the touchpad ALL the time.So I assume Synaptics have changed things since this 'fix' was posted in 2009 I think. .
I have W7 XPS, and Driver version 15.3.22.0 for Synaptics Touchpad.
Cheers
K.

THANK YOU very much for this great post.
I was searching all over this morning for a method to achieve this exact same thing when i finally stumbled upon your post. Worked like a charm.

Sadly that option is no longer available.
At least in version 17.0.8.1

Dude thank you so much. I tried to figure it out on my own using the control pannel with no luck. Did one google search this was the top result and I did it in 2 minutes. I even registered on this board so I could post this. It took me more time to register
You da real MVP
