postsTurn off touchpad when Mouse Plugged In
How can I turn off the touchpad on my laptop when I plug in a USB mouse? I can't even disable it through the device manager... the "disable" button isn't selectable. The only way I was able to turn it off was throught the BIOS, but this does me no good when I don't have a mouse in (on the road).
Is there an app to do this?
I've googled but to no avail.

postsThe two laptops I have both have buttons on the actual laptop to turn off the touchpad. They're both located near the touchpad... maybe older laptops or different models are different though.

postsI got mine from IBuyPower.com so it's not really a brand.
Mdipi - Yeah, I found the settings for it, but no way to turn it off. The settings for the USB mouse have a "Disable" button, but the button isn't available for the touch pad.
Hifi - Unless I'm missing something obvious, I don't think there is a physical button to turn it off
3d - I think I may have to call them tomorrow
GWing - I think I saw something when I was googling about a way to do it on a Dell model. There are some new drivers or something that will allow it, not sure though, I wasn't paying too much attention because it was Dell laptop specific
