I cannot for the life of me figure out how to disable the touchpad on my laptop. I have windows XP Pro. Its not under control panel, mouse printer keyboard. Anyone have any suggestions? I reformatted last week and the little touch pad window doesn't appear in the task bar anymore so I'm lost. I'm not very good with computers btw

my laptop has a "FN" key ( function ) between control and the windows key in the lower left hand corner of my keyboard.
The F1-F12 keys all have "functions" , brightness up/down, volume up down, ect. One of them for me is disable the touch pad. Maybe yours has this?
FN+F9 does it for my toshiba

I hate some touchpads, some of them like clicking things that you really just wanted to scroll over. When I had my laptop 4 years ago I disabled the click-part of the touchpad, but I still used it for a mouse.
My roommates touchpad has a little button next to it that will shut off the pad for mouse use.-Matt
