Hi, two possibilities. There may be a button on the touchpad itself (I don't recall Toshiba laptops having these though, unless they've changed), or you can disable it through mouse properties in control panel. Hope that helps.

Subject: [access-uk] Disabling Touch Pad



On the old Toshiba laptop which I used for several years I was able to
disable the touchpad etc. by pressing FN + f9.  This avoided many
"accidents" when my clumsy hands touched one of the mouse buttons at an
unfortunate time.

However with the Satellite Pro A120 which I bought this year disabling the
touch pad no longer seems to work - although the feature is included in the 
manual.

If other Toshiba laptop users have any suggestions I would be most
grateful. I am sure that there is a simple explanation, but at present it 
eludes me.

Many thanks,


Douglas
