Thanks for the name of the laptop, because as posted here are none of
the ways to turn off this device.
The main thing is that you will need to hook up a regular mouse for
the device to show up for disabling. Now sense you didn't say which
op you are using I had to give for most.
I hope what was previous given didn't do harm when wrong.
Always get the type of laptop working with, because none are the same!
here are pages that tell how to disable the touch pad,
using xp,

Hello there;
are you sure there's not a keystroke to shut the touchpad off?
FNf9 or, FNf7,
another way you could do this is through the bios however you will need
sighted assistance.

Type of laptop and operating system used would be a big help in finding
the right directions in doing this instead of guessing at air.

My mousepad is called something like Alps Pointing Device.
The thing is that no Device tab shows up when I use my right arrow as
you've suggested. And as a matter of fact, though I followed directions
for putting the touchpad in the system tray, it doesn't show up there.
Thanks for your patience with this problem.

Hello there;
first welcome to the list.
I assume your asking how you could turn off the mouse/touchpad?
you didn't give much information,
so I'll just take a chance here!
SynapticsPointingDevice
yes, you can disable the device, through the system tray.
I disabled the device, however, I left it in the system tray, just in
case, I needed a sighted person to click for me.
here's how I did it.
1, system tray, and enter on, synaptics pointing device .
2, now enter on properties.
3, now shift tab one time you will hear;
button's tab.
4, now right arrow until you hear;
device settings tab.
5, now tab until you hear disable press enter.
now anytime you want to turn on device, just follow the same steps,
however, you would enter on enable.

About me? I've got a laptop with the mouse right on the keypad on the
front
of it. It' annoying.
