| | Re: stopping my pointer automatically opening things Yes, on some laptops using a touchpad. usually there are options that are for the touchpad that will modify how it works. You may have an icon showing the touchpad, or you may have to "look around" in such things as he control panel. Some of the older laptops had touchpad support and options in BIOS.

| | Re: stopping my pointer automatically opening things Find out where you have the touchpad options for your machine and check the settings. Check the users manual if you have one.
