How to Enable TwoFingerTap as a Right Click in lenovo laptops Synaptic Touchpad Systems


In some of the laptops which use synaptics  touchpad drivers, the TwoFingerTap doesnt work as a right click.Even after enabling this option in the Synaptics Control panel doesnt fix this problem.In this tutorial you will learn how to fix this problem & enable TwoFingerTap as a RightClick on Lenovo laptops.Im Performing this in Lenovoz510 which is loaded with Windows 10 operating system.But this method will work for every laptop which uses synaptics touchpad Driver.This will also work in Windows 8.1 platforms.



Steps-

1.Press Win+R keys to open run, type regedit and hit enter to open Registry Editor.

2.Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSynapticsSynTPTouchPadPS2". If you dont find "TouchPadPS2" and another entry named "TouchPadSMB2c" exists under SynTP then click on "TouchPadSMB2c". If you dont find "SynTP" key then read note at end of the post.

3.On the right double click on "MultiFingerTapFlags" entry and update its value to 3.

4.On the right double click on "2FingerTapAction" entry and update its value to 2.

5.  Press OK and Exit.

6. Restart your Laptop.

Note - If you dont find any of the above keys then you have to manually create it. Right Click on Synaptics click on New Key and Give it name ""SynTP". Now similarly create a key named "TouchPadPS2" under "SynTP". Now under "TouchPadPS2" create new "DWORD (32 bit) Value" with name "2FingerTapAction". Double Click it and Change its Value to 2. Logoff and Start Windows.
