I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, and I use a notebook mouse with it. I type very fast and find myself sometimes resting my hands on the touchpad. Suddenly, I'm typing away in the wrong place. :( Does anyone know if I can turn the touchpad off since I never use it?
Thanks!
Sandy

You can turn it off in the BIOS.
To do this switch you PC on and when it start to boot up id will say omething like F2 to enter setup. that takes you into the bios. Have a look for touchpad and it will have a on/off setting.
Take care as the bios it serious if you alter stuff.
Good luck.

Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Mouse.
There should be a tab there labeled "Device Select".
In there you should see a choice to "Disable Device" under the Touch Pad settings.

control panel, printers and other hardware, mouse, from there you should be able to set it to how you want it.
