captfred has the answer.  Good job.

Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > uncheck the Two Finger “Pinch open & Close”
That should do it for you.

Edit: When on the desktop, pinching two finger on the trackpad will make the icons smaller. Two fingers increasing distance will expand them. Uncheck that option and you’ll eliminate that issue on the trackpad.

Gestures stop working on Multitouch trackpads MacFixIt – CNET Reviews.  Having a problem with colorsync, defult printers, monitors or trackpad settings?  Try this.

Try removing the .GlobalPreferences.USER-UUID.plist file

The user account‘s .GlobalPreferences file is a hidden preference file used for device settings such as colorsync profiles, default printers and monitors, and trackpad settings. After deleting this file and logging out and back in, you may need to ensure these items are setup correctly again. To do this, open the Terminal and follow these steps:

  1. Type the following command (do not press enter)

    rm ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences

  2. Press the Tab key twice, and you should see an output of the files containing “.GlobalPreferences” in their name.

  3. Locate the one with the UUID in it (the UUID will look something like this: 6F77B0D6-8208-4977-8B45-EB1ADF6714BA) and start entering part of the UUID portion into the terminal so the command looks like the following:

    rm ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.6F77B

  4. When you have entered part of the UUID section of the file name, press the Tab key once and the file name should automatically complete, so the command looks something like the following:

    rm ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.6F77B0D6-8208-4977-8B45-EB1ADF6714BA.plist

  5. After the full filename has been typed, press enter to remove the preference file, and then log out and log back in to your user account.
