How to disable a Dell Laptop pointing stick

apoint

I get this one a lot.

Dell call that thing in the middle of the keyboard a “pointing stick”.

Look for the touch pad Icon in your taskbar.

It looks like this:-

touch 

Right Click and go to properties (see main pic above).

You can enable/disable the device from here.

If you don’t see the touch  icon on your taskbar.

Browse to C:\Program Files\Apoint

Run the Program Apoint.

You should see the option to disable the pointing stick

If you do not have a folder called C:\Program Files\Apoint

Visit www.support.dell.com and lookup your system.

Then drill down into:-

support_dell

Install it then go into the icon touch and disable it.
