![]() ![]() Made changes in the enabling/disabling logic to better handle newer versions of Windows (more device IDs to handle, etc).Fixed hotkey handling code so that CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-M hotkey is always enabled.Updated to support 64-bit versions of Windows (Tested on Windows 7 圆4).The requirment is: You, the user, select the laptop's external mouse. Removed Apple Macbook Pro specific code.Appreciate this to the max!Īlso, many thanks to all the people that have emailed me about this program thanking me if it worked or letting me know that it doesn't, and how/why. for his much needed help with Windows Vista functionality and getting it to work on his unibody Macbook! He took the time to email me with really useful details of his system and how it worked and helped me get it working on Vista. Since it worked so great for me, I figured why not see if anyone else has the same issue with the giant trackpads and see if this solution works for them. It even has the automatic mode which mimics OS X's option. I built a small utility that allows you to disable and enable the Apple Macbook trackpad easily, called Trackpad Magic. Well, I wanted something easier, and I couldn't find anyone online that made a utility that does this. The only way to disable it is to go into the Device Manager, right click it and select disable. However, there is no option in Windows for this in the mouse properties. Under Mac OS X, there's an option whereby if an external mouse is connected, the trackpad is automatically disabled. If so, go here.Īfter purchasing my first Mac, the Macbook Pro 15", I found it annoying that when I would type or try to play games, my palm would occasionally slip over the corner of the unusually large trackpad and move my cursor to either a different position in the text (or mess up my aim) and I'd mess things up (or die after shooting at the ground). You might need to update your driver to get this option. See how to automatically disable the trackpad here. Note: For those of you using non-Apple laptops, check to see if your trackpad uses the Synaptics driver. In OS X, this option is available and has been moved to the Mouse and Trackpad section under Universal Access in System Preferences. ![]() While you're here, feel free to try it out, but the likelihood of this utility working on the latest 2011 Macbook Pros is dubious at best! Apple Macbook and Macbook Pro users in OS X Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test, as I am still on my 2007 Santa Rosa Macbook Pro and haven't had a chance to work on the code or update it since.last year :)Ĭurrently looking into what new libraries and things are available now for this task and also thinking of rewriting it in my free time. Many people have emailed me recently saying that it doesn't work on their fancy new Windows 7 Macbook Pros. Apologies for the cobwebs and spiders I know, I know, I don't like it either ![]()
