Fn and F6 query please

[Chrissie Smiff]

Can anyone tell me please if there is a way to set my mouse as my preference, rather than the lap top finger thing. Rather than having to remember to press Fn and F6 every time I log on (before my writing goes haywire).

I just plug my mouse into a USB port Chrissie and thats it ?

... rather than the lap top finger thing.

Do you mean the touchpad, Chrissie! ;)

You can normally disable it permanently - via Control Panel >> Mouse
Some info here .. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disabl...ad-windows-8-7

- not sure what you mean by setting the mouse as preference.

Will take a look at that tomorrow thank you Elaine I only have 5 mins now.

I just meant so that I don't have to keep disabling the touch pad.

Thanks Val but mine is a wireless one. I don't know whether that make a difference. There is still a 'thingy' with it that you plug into a USB port though.

I've got a wireless Mouse is that what you mean ? and I just plug the usb bit for it in and then use my mouse hate the touchpad its so slow.

Yes Val but my laptop has it permanently set to recognise the pad as well.

After reading the link you gave Elaine I have decided to keep doing my FN+F6. There is a danger that I might disable it permanently and it's always possible that I may need it in an emergency. Thank you again
