Use the touchpad as follows:
TMove your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
TPress the left (1) and right (3) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do selection and
execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touchpad produces similar results.

cursor pressing on the vertical and horizontal scroll bards of Windows applications.
