It is the same with my Lenovo and you have no idea how pleased I am to find
this very easy way to deal with that darned mouse pad!
Thanks so much for a great solution.

Hi Steve
The FN plus F8 keys works with my Lenovo laptop. You are correct; I will
have to remember it when a sighted person wants to use the mouse!!!
Thank you in any way for responding

I don't know about your laptop, but on mine I was able to disable it by
going to the control panel, under devices, Mouse and Touchpad, I found a
choice to disable it. Then, wait until a sighted mouse-dependent person
wants to use your computer (grin).
I can't give you exact directions because I am not sure if Win 7 would
have
the same layout as my Vista laptop, especially since I set up my Vista in
classic view.
Another alternative is to cut out a thin piece of cardboard and tape it
over
the touchpad. You'd want to use something about the thickness of what they
use for sending stuff in mailers that they don't want to bend.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Dear List
I use JAWS 13 with windows 7 on a laptop but find the touch pad on the
laptop a nuisance as my left thumb tends to occationally touch it while
working changing the focus.
Is there perhaps a way of disabling the touch pad on a modern laptop?
