Using my finger, I'd like to improve my chances of getting the attention of the scroll bar so I can have better control of screen scrolling. Anyone have a trick to 'grab' the scroll bars with a finger ?
In your start menu do you have choices for "optomize for touch" and "optomize for mouse"? Optomize for touch makes the scroll bars a bit woder.
You can also use the "panning hand" tool in IE8 if you are using IE8.

Hello Yachats,
if you are using Windows 7, you don't have to grab the scrollbar.
You can drag the whole "content" of the window instead.
Otherwise you could also increase the dpi - with the negative effect of less space.

Can you tell me the properties of this optomization choice so I might look for it outside the start/menu.
The optimize for touch and mouse are windows 7 features.
I think you are stuck with what you have on Vista sadly. Wait for October 22nd for the Windows 7 release or install the RTM in the meantime for far better touch screen functionality.

The Optimize for Mouse and Optimize for Touch items in the Start Menu are shortcuts to a program that HP created, originally for the IQ770 (incidentally, I was the original developer on that little program). The program changes a collection of "system metrics" all at once, making it easier to adjust Windows UI element sizes that fit Mouse our Touch operation.
The same thing can be accomplished without that program, but they are pretty cumbersome to apply.
The program can be downloaded from here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-6642...
