Default Disabling tap function in synaptics touchpad

I recently bought an Adesso RF wireless keypad,http://www.adesso.com/products_detail.asp?productid=281. *Although its
claims of 100' range are wildly optimistic, the keyboard generally works
well. *The main complaint I have is with its Synaptic brand touchpad. *Like
those on laptops, the touchpad has a function where tapping the pad
activates a left mouse button click. *Unlike most laptops I've seen
however, this function, which I HATE, as I constantly find I'm inadvertently
activating it, cannot be turned off in software. *In fact, the keyboard
comes with no drivers, it "plug & plays" into existing MS drivers. *So I'm
wondering if there is a way to electronically disable the tap function. *The
touchpad has a multilead chip, I'm guessing severing one of the leads would
eliminate the tap, the question is which one. * *I'm guessing this being a
proprietary chip, there's no data sheet available. *Anyone have any ideas?
Adesso simply replies "no software solution".
