    TouchFreeze 1.0.2

    TouchFreeze is an open source application that prevents touchpad tapping while typing. It is compatible with:
    Windows 2000
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista
    Windows Server 2003/2008
    Windows Server 2008
    Windows 7

    Personally, tapping the touchpad and being sent to another line while typing is one of my biggest peeves about my new laptop. I have been using it for a while and can verify it works. TouchFreeze has saved a lot of hair on my head .

    Good idea. Thanks. Use a mouse and you won't have the problem.
    My wife carries a little wireless mouse with her laptop. She won't use a touchpad, and for good reason!.

    Thanks for the info and link. Useful application.
    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.

    Good app, Dell touch-pad ( Alpine ) has lock option that once the mouse is activated, touch-pad is locked for a moment.Apart from it - be sure to practice proper typing and hands position.
