Can touchpad settings be locked, or saved?

J.P. ,
Touchpads ? I hate them, I turn them off and plug in a real mouse !...
Jokes aside, there is a very good chance that they are stored in the
registry, and that you can find them by searching for the company name and
stuff like that.
Or, a way of saving current settings that is relatively easy to restore?
And you can ex- and import registry branches *very* easily. Though,
depending on the driver, a reboot might be needed after importing one to get
it noticed/read by the driver again.
Finding the relevant registry branch(es), and certainly rebooting to
reload them, was/is a _lot_ more tedious than I was hoping for. A reboot
normally does restore the 'pad to how I want it to work anyway - or even
just waiting.
As for locking ? As far as I know thats possible (upto a point). Though
the best I can suggest in that regard is that you search for "registry" and
"locking entries" (or something like it), as it has been too long for me to
remember exactly how I did it myself.
Again, more delving than I'd hoped to do. I was hoping that someone
might know a generic way of preventing the changes.
Hope that helps.
Thanks very much for trying.
