I use the mousepad on my laptop, but!!!!!! (how to, working, right click)

[sillygal]

A while back my left click on my mousepad stopped working, and I was told by a repairman that I could tap the pad to make up for this. I am so used to clicking the mouse that I find myself just using my right clicker instead, and I went into my mouse settings and changed them. So far this is working but I have to deal with the drop down menus everytime I type, or accidentally hit a letter. Can I turn this off? Can I go into my mouse program and disable it? UGH

I do not want to use my regular mouse, it is a pain!!! And when I got my laptop I was happy I didn't have to use it anymore.

Put the right button back to right button functionality and learn to double-tap the pad for selection.

If you can learn to use a computer, you can learn to tap the pad...

hhhmm, thank you but I do know how to tap my mousepad Ive tried this many times, but still find myself using the right. I want to continue to use the right, but I am asking how to use it w/o getting the drop down menus.
