Expose - How can I kill it?

I recently upgraded to Panther. I was at first interested in the new Expose feature...however, this 'feature' has quickly become the bane of my life. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be mouse activated, but it's reacting to the mouse when I don't want it to. Mouse movements that activate the 'Hide All Windows' feature on Expose are:

Moving the mouse towards the upper corners of the screen;
Trying to click on tool bars (Adobe and IE in particuar seem to react drastically to this, and in Adobe's case it results in the toolbar I'm trying to use vanishing); :mad:
Doing amazing, life altering things in Itunes (like trying to 'pause' or 'skip to next song').

Pretty much, any upper left mouse movement makes Expose's hide feature activate (though occationally upper right does as well). Is there any way to kill the Expose feature?
 
Go to System Preferences -> Expose
take a closer look there. You can setup corner actions. If not desired, just pick "-"
If you completely want to get rid of Expose also chose "-" for the keys.
 
Go to your Expose preference pane, and turn off all expose mouse and screen corner settings. You can also choose to change the keyboard activation, so that more than one key press is required for activation
 
I'm not sure what type of mouse you have, but I have a 2 button with scroll wheel.

I set the scroll wheel to activate Expose when I press it down.

I find it totally under my control and impossible to accidentally trigger. As mentioned before, this can all be configured under Expose Prefs.

Hope this helps.
