Hey guys, just a couple of questions that I'm sure have been asked (if so, I apologize and feel free to yell at me  ), but I just installed Win7 the other day and so far I've only made it through the first 6 pages of the thread.1) On a laptop, is there an easy way to disable the "tap-to-click" crap? It's getting really annoying having things get clicked on accident all the time and there are no settings that I can find for it in Win7 itself. I'd imagine it would be a setting in the driver itself but I can't find where those preferences would be, if they exist. 2) Is there any way at all to make it so that pinning a folder onto the taskbar doesn't force me to put it under the all-in-one Windows Explorer button? On WinXP I used RocketDock and kept certain folders on the dock for easy access and not being able to have that functionality on the Win7 taskbar is a bit weird. If there's no way to fix it, I'll probably just go back to using a dock or something. I think these are the only two things about Win7 that I wish to change, otherwise it's a great OS. And again, sorry for not reading the whole thread yet but I'll be working on it when I get home. Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry if this question has been asked a bunch already, but this thread is enormous. Is there a way I could share a single mouse and keyboard with two computers over the internet as opposed to LAN? I know it sounds stupid, but here's why: At work, I have two PCs at my desk: an IT box with 1 monitor (left) on the company's network, and a "test" box with 2 monitors (center & right) on our department's own network. This means I have 3 monitors sitting side-by-side but I have to use 2 sets of mice/keyboards. I would like to be able to just move my mouse cursor from the middle monitor to the left monitor just like I would from the right to the center. I could just use a KVM switch like one of the other guys here is, but that's annoying and I'm lazy. I've tried a lot of Googling but I'm thinking at this point that nobody has made such an app, which I could understand. It seems like it should be as easy as installing the client on both machines, authenticating them in some way (simple username/password in both clients maybe), and then telling the clients which machine(s) belong to which monitor(s).

Factory Factory posted:Absolutely, you're looking for IP KVM software. Look into Synergy and InputDirector. I checked into those, but as far as I can tell both apps require the machines to be on the same network. Am I incorrect? I would love to figure out how to make either one of them work. edit: LoKout posted:Beaten a bit, but Input Director uses a fixed port for the slave computers. You could do port forwarding and use a password/key auth for access. This might be the ticket. I'll give it a try, thanks! 2nd edit: Well poo poo, the IT box requires admin access to install Input Director, which I don't have. At least with Synergy I could just run it from the desktop.
