  • Disable laptop touchpad

    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

                  when i had windows put back on my dell, the little icon wasn't there either, I had to go to the dell website and download the driver for the touchpad, and then i was able to have the option to disable it.

                          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.

                              My laptop has a button above the touch pad, which will disable it.
