Ever had a problem with accidently moving your curser while typing on a laptop? TouchFreeze is a free, open source tool that conveniently disables your laptops touchpad when you start typing and then automatically re-enables it when you stop.
TouchFreeze sits in your system tray in the bottom right of your screen, so you can easily exit it if for some reason you need to. Of course if you regularly need to use your keyboard and touchpad simultaneously then this probably isn’t the tool for you, but for most people this won’t be an issue.
TouchFreeze works with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003/2008, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7.
