What is hidfind.exe?

If the ALPS Touch Pad driver is installed on computers running Windows XP, the Fn+F9 (Touch Pad On/Off) function does not operate. To make this function available, the TOSHIBA Touch Pad On/Off Utility should also be updated.

Overview

hidfind.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent Apoint.exe (Alps Pointing-device Driver by Alps Electric Co., Ltd). It is installed with a couple of know programs including Dell Touchpad published by Alps Electric Co., Dell Touchpad from Alps Electric Co. and Dell Touchpad by Alps Electric Co.. The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). The file is digitally signed by Alps Electric Co. which was issued by the VeriSign certificate authority (CA).
