I've been meaning to look at disabling my touchpad, but I always seem to be doing something more important than figuring out how to disable it. It's been difficult keeping my thumbs tucked while I type. Like Tony my control panel didn't have Device settings, but the first tab was Dell Touchpad. I clicked on that tab, then the touchpad icon, then device select. After I had done all that, I noticed the touchpad icon in the system tray has a red X through it. Apparently I could have double-clicked on the icon to get to the same place. Bless you.

Running XP-SP2, btw. Is this a Vista-only trick? Nice tip, simple to do – BUT my Mouse control panel doesn’t have the Device Settings tab, it only goes as far as ‘Hardware’. Running XP-SP2, btw.

That was perfect. Some laptops have Fn combinations to turn it off. My Gateway apparently has none of those. Under Vista I created an AutoIt script to turn it off but it was pretty slow. (As is the rest of my laptop.) Win7 is worse. -----Paul----- My previous Presario laptop had a physical button above the touch pad to disable it. That was perfect.

For my laptop, there is an FN key combination FN+F3 to turn it off. I am using an Medion E1210. Hope this helps! Hello,
