Abstract
The control of unintended actuation of a touch pad pointing device is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a computerized system comprises a touch pad pointing device capable of actuation by a user, and a pointing device driver. The pointing device driver comprises a disable component, and a censor and re-enable component. The disable component sets a disable function upon detection of a disabling event. The censor and re-enable component ignores the single-tap actuation of the touch pad pointing device upon the setting of the disable function. Finally, the censor and re-enable component resets the disable function upon detection of an enabling event.
