Yes, you can turn it off.
Go to control panel, mouse, hardware tab, properties, and find the disable
radio button.

Speaking of the mouse pad on laptops is there a way to turn this feature
off in settings? If I can turn it off then I can see if maybe I am the
cause of Jaws jumping around.

I have had this happen to me off and on with the past few versions of
JAWS. For me it is not a JAWS issue. I use a laptop and there is a touch
pad for visual users to use to move the mouse around. There is also a
small button just above that touch pad that turns this touch pad on and
off. If I do not have the mouse touch pad turned off and I accidentally
touch the pad while typing, browsing or anything else the cursor will jump
focus and screw me all up and put me in a place I don't want to be. I
found that as long as I keep the mouse touch pad turned off, I never have
any problems keeping focus where I want it and everything works fine. I
hope this helps.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue
Sometimes when I'm writing an email, or writing in MS Word, the cursor
will jump and all of a sudden I'm typing in the middle of the previous
sentence or the previous paragraph. And I never know the cursor has
moved until I review my text and find it all mixed up. It doesn't
happen too often, but I can never figure out what makes the cursor jump
like that. Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there any way
to keep it from happening?
Thanks for any help,
Deanne
