Turn off touchpad on laptop

First of all, please read the user manual for your notebook, many laptops already have a special button to turn the touchpad off. You just need to find the switch :)

If there is no hardware button or switch, check the icons and mnemonics on the netbook keyboard. You may find a keyboard shortcut (usually in combination with Fn key) to turn the touch pad on and off.

If you still haven't got a solution, open Mouse and pointing devices in Control Panel and disable the touch panel in the driver settings.

Also, you can delete the touchpad from the list of system devices, but it's a hacking way :)
