Often when typing on a notebook accidentally touching the touchpad, and the result is that the cursor ends up in a random place and you lose a lot of time to reconstruct what happened, not to mention the risk of leaving text out of place , which could also be embarrassing.

The first thing is to try and get groped in the options of the driver of the touchpad and see if it offers the possibility to automatically disable the same when you use an external mouse, since many use the mouse as an alternative to the touchpad that would already be a solution of the problem.

For those who do not use external mouse or a touchpad has a driver does not give this possibility, there are free applications that avoid these errors, by detecting and disabling the touchpad as you type until you realize that you are writing.

One of these is Touchpad Pal, compatible with XP, Vista and Windows 7, you can download here: tpp.exe .

TouchFreeze is an alternative to Windows NT/2000/XP, downloadable here , which are also available for C + + sources.
