The leftward swipe (which opens the Windows Explorer) and the rightward swipe (which shows all open apps, similar to Alt-Tab) drove me *crazy*. I tried to disable them using the Group Policy Editor, and the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\EdgeUI\AllowEdgeSwipe =0 key, as described in https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/485 ... ml#option2. No joy.
This page (it's in Korean) has a link to a Synaptics driver, v16_2_21, with a checkbox to disable Edge Swipes: http://www.kbench.com/software/?q=node/49098
Edit: The link can be accessed by pressing the blue button with the greater-than (>) symbol in the middle of the page.
The driver also has a feature, Press To Select, which lets you press the left mouse button by tapping the trackpoint.
I just installed the driver, so i don't know how stable it is, but I'm no longer considering throwing my T61p with Windows for Workstations off my porch, which is nice.
