Thanks for the tip, I really hate it when my cursor jumps somewhere else when typing an email or something.

Bless you. 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.

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. Is this a Vista-only trick?

My previous Presario laptop had a physical button above the touch pad to disable it. 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.

Hello,
You forgot to mention that some laptops have a button that you can press on the keyboard to turn the touchpad off. For my laptop, there is an FN key combination FN+F3 to turn it off. I am using an Medion E1210.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip, I have seen a few people with this problem. A while ago a friend of mine cut out a piece of something I forget to cover her mouse pad
