			<description><![CDATA[Sometimes while I'm gaming I'll tap the touchpad by accident and undesirable things happen, like minimize my game, switch to another program/app, etc. and closes my game. I found a way to easily disable it before gaming or to only have it enabled when a mouse is not plugged in:<br />
<ul class="mycode_list"><li>To disable the touchpad on your laptop, Windows 11 has a setting under <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Settings &gt; Bluetooth &amp; devices</span> that allows you to disable the touchpad.<br />
</li>
<li>Turn it on/off to disable/enable the touchpad.<br />
</li>
<li>Uncheck <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">'Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected'</span> so it will auto-enable if you disconnect your mouse.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
Now the touchpad will only work if you do not have a mouse connected!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ever hit the Windows key by accident while in a game and the menu pops up or closes your game?<br />
Well, I do all the time because my push-to-talk for voice chat is right next to it.<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Download Microsoft Power Toys from GitHub <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.91.1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">HERE</a><br />
</li>
<li>Install it and go to <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Keyboard Manager &gt; Remap a key</span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Select</span>: your Win key<br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Send To</span>: Disable (Use the drop down menu under <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Send key/Shortcut</span> to select Disable)<br />
</li>
<li>Hit OK (If a warning pops up, select 'Continue anyway')<br />
</li>
</ul>
Now your Win key is disabled while Power Toys is loaded and active!<br />
<br />
Since I use the Win key when I'm not gaming, I changed the setting for 'Run at startup' (Under the 'General' menu selection) to 'Off' and only start Power Toys when I'm gaming.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!]]></description>
