The Mouse program provides this tab exclusively for its Properties buttons,

                which take you to the Device Manager’s device properties dialog box.
                Useful if you have to troubleshoot a bad driver.



                Network and Sharing Center

                The primary features are duplicated in the Settings app; see “Status”.


                This network command center offers, among other things, a handy map that
                shows exactly how your PC is connected to the internet. It also contains a
                tidy list of all networking-related features (file sharing, printer sharing, and

                so on), complete with on/off switches. See Chapter 19 for details.



                Pen and Touch

                This item appears only if your machine has a touchscreen. It has two tabs:


                           Pen. On some computers, you can use a digital pen (a stylus) to

                           write on the screen, as described on “Keyboard Settings”. Here you
                           can configure what the pen’s clicky button does (click, right-click,
                           double-click, and so on).


                           Touch. On any touchscreen, you can tap things with your finger.
                           Here you tell Windows what you want to happen when you
                           double-tap the screen with your finger, or touch and hold, and

                           whether or not you want to see a little dot appear on the screen
                           where you tap.



                Phone and Modem


                If you have a dial-up modem, you’ll need to access these settings, but only
                once: the first time you set up to dial out.



                Power Options


                The primary features are duplicated in the Settings app; see “Notifications
                & Actions”.
