I've owned two laptops over the years, and both had pads for mouse functions. My remedy was to place a four-by-six notecard over the pad and tape it down on the right. Then when a sighted person needs to use the pad, all you need to do is flip the card back. The tape lasts a long time.

I don't even have to touch the thing for it to make the cursor jump away from the application I'm working in. I've tried Device Manager and there was no disable button or else JAWS couldn't read it. Thanks for any help.
