Change TrackPad(Click=>Tab) before login

Hi all,


Is it possible to change trackpad behaviour before login into my account?

Currently the trackpad is set to "Click" but I want it set to "Tap" before logon.

Once I'm logged on it is working ok so it's basically only setup for my user account via (System Preferences>Trackpad>Point&Click)


I've searched this discussion forum but only found not properly working trackpads, I have no issues with my trackpad.

“Tap to Click is a user specific preference, just like your Desktop picture or Screensaver. If you log out of your account, you won't be able to tap to click at the logout screen. In addition, when you start up to the Install DVD or Apple Hardware Test, the Tap to Click feature won't be available.”
