| 877056 | 2010-04-16 00:21:00 | I have a Dell Vostro Notebook with W7 pro. Because I use a Mouse, and my thumbs sometimes touch the pad when typing, I wish to disable it. Device manager only gives me the option to uninstall, Disable is faded out. The Mouse Icon in Control Panel does the same. Its not in gpedit.msc Its not in Services. I don't want to uninstall it in-case I don't have the mouse with me. |
