56 Getting Started Using the computer for the first time ❖ To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left. NOTE Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the desired direction. Once you have positioned your cursor, you can double-tap the TouchPad or click the buttons to open a program or file, or to get information about an icon. Primary and secondary control buttons When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad to move the pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/ cursor is positioned, you can double-tap the TouchPad or click the buttons to open a program or file or to get information about an icon. The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used like the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the left one and corresponds to the left mouse button. To double-tap, press the primary button twice in rapid succession. The function of the secondary button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your program's documentation to find whether it uses the secondary mouse button. Disabling or enabling the TouchPad The TouchPad is enabled by default. To change the current enable/disable TouchPad setting: 1 Click Start, Control Panel. The Control Panel window appears.
