Hot Key to disable TouchPad
I have a Studio 1749 and a new Inspiron 17R.
The 17R has a hot key to enable/disable the touch pad. The Studio does not.
Is there a way for me to program one of the funtion keys (i.e., function key with Fn button depressed) to enable and disable the touchpad?
The Inspiron has a dedicated key (i.e., F13!).
Any help or thoughts out there.
Thanks

This is a fairly old posting, but I just came across it, when I searched on how to enable the touchpad. The posting is unsolved so I thought I'd write my resolution.
My Inspiron N5010 has a key after the F12 key, with a touchpad symbol on it. This is a toggle key which enables or disables (I need to fix this issue occasionally, after my 4 year old is done playing on her preschool websites :emotion-2:

You should mention the operating system. If you have Dell Quickset on the 1749, that will have a turnoff setting for the Touchpad. You can also look in the Mouse settings in Control Panel on the 1749. That might have a setting there you can use.
