but instead hold it down. You can then drag the active file around the screen by moving your finger around the pad. When you have placed the file where you want it, for example in a new directory, release the left button. The file will drop into the new location. You can also do drag and drop operations using the touchpad as a large left button. Position the cursor over the item that you want to drag. Gently tap twice on the pad. On the second tap, keep your finger in contact with the pad. You can then drag the selected object around the screen by moving your fingertip across the pad. When you lift your fingertip from the pad, the selected object will drop into place.

Changing the Configuration

You may want to customize the mouse. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the buttons over so that you can use the right button to generate events that are normally generated by the left button. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer and so on.

If you are using Windows, double-click the “Mouse” icon in the Windows Control Panel. The Mouse Properties window allows you to change various configurations. Instead of Windows, you can also use the touchpad software supplied with your notebook to change the configuration.

Scroll Button

In addition to the standard left and right buttons, there is a scroll button. You can scroll the window up by pressing , the upper half of the button, and down by pressing , the lower half.
