Toshiba Equium laptop. Windows Vista.

Today, In my C drive I found Toshiba/drivers/touchpad and in this a folder for the Alps driver. Running the progam DPInst in this folder installed the Alps Touchpad. Right-click on the notification area touchpad icon, select Control Panel, Advanced, Advanced Feature Settings, Pointer Speed and Tapping Settings, uncheck enable tapping. At last after 6 months I have finally removed the very annoying tap to click! All that remains now is for me to retrain myself to stop tapping! The great news is that I will no longer be involuntarily opening all sorts of programs, menu commands etc by mistake, causing me no end of problems and annoyance.
