Autoclick

[steven]

Sometimes when I stop moving my mouse, XP left clicks for
me. Isn't that nice of it?!? I must be able to turn the
feature off, but can't seem to figure out how?

Is it a real mouse, or a cheap notebook type touchpad (yikes) ?

It's a Sony Vaio touchpad. Not cheap, but... I think I
may have found resolution. Time will tell: The touchpad
has a tap feature that was enabled. I but that if I left
finger on the pad after moving the mouse the tap event
was activated. Since I don't use tap anyways, I just
turned it off.

That's exactly what I meant. These touchpads are full of tricks
like taps, gestures and so on.
The downside is, you must know how to configure it,
or just turn all them off and forget.
But why I really do hate these touchpads - some of them cause random pointer
movement even when you don't touch them at all - for example when you type.
One of my old HP laptops has a special button that locks the touchpad.
I really miss this on other newer machines.

Kudos to HP - they didn't hide the problem under the carpet, and
made a simple working solution - rather than forcing users into frustrating
tampering with the touchpad settings.
