change laptop touch pad behavior??

[sg]

Is there a way to configure a laptop with winXP so that the touchpad does
not do mouse clicks when touched to hard?

I would prefer the touchpad on point and that I have to click one of the
buttons to actually perform a mouse click.

The touchpad software should have options and settings to configure how the
touchpad responds. Go to Control Panel/Mouse to see these. Alternately, if
there is an icon in the Notification area (By the clock, lower right screen)
right click this icon to see the touchpad properties.
