Disable Laptop Touchpad Automatically On Typing Using TouchFreeze

Posted by dkszone on November 26, 2009

How many times have you been typing a document and your fingers accidentally brushed your laptop’s touchpad, causing the cursor to change position? Isn’t it very irritating to bring back the cursor into your typing position every time your hand touches the touchpad?
One way to avoid this annoyance is to disable the touchpad temporarily (either by pressing the small lock button on your laptop’s touchpad or doing it through your computer’s control panel). An alternative way to this time-consuming task is to use a small utility such as TouchFreeze which automatically enables/disables the Touch Pad.

Touch Freeze runs with your System Startup, sit’s in the system tray silently and does it’s job even more silently. Whenever you start typing in a document it locks the Touch Pad, not allowing your mouse cursor to suddenly change it’s position. The moment you stop typing, your Touch Pad is enabled back again. While there are know issues for some Synaptics and VAIO touch pads, these problems may get fixed in future versions.
