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”.
