Latitude E5400 Disabling Touchpad mouse
Please help me determine how I disable the touchpad on my Latitude E5400 so that I can use an external mouse. I have a bad habit of brusing my touchpad with my palm and move the line on which I am typing to one elsewhere in the document.

Hi Mbaach,
Welcome to the Community. Click on start, and click on control panel, click on mouse, click on Dell Touchpad, click on the Big Arrow image, Click on device select, at the bottom put a check where is says, Disable touchpad when an external mouse is connected, click apply and then ok.
Hope this helps.
Thank you
Royan

Thank you for your assistance, Royan. Unfortunately, there is no icon or text for the Dell Touchpad after clicking Mouse on the Control Panel. Is it because I am using Windows 7? I get the following drop down menus: Buttons, Pointers. Pointer Options, Wheel, Hardware, Activities.
Many thx!!

Hi totaloasis,
Welcome to the Community,
Check if you find Dell Touchpad in the list of installed programs(Control Panel,Programs and Features).
If its not listed use this link below to download and install Dell Touchpad driver:
lt.dell.com/.../lt.aspx
After installing reboot the system and access Dell Touchpad from All Programs or click on control panel, click on mouse, click on Dell Touchpad, click on the Big Arrow image, Click on device select, at the bottom put a check where is says, Disable touchpad when an external mouse is connected, click apply and then ok.
Hope this helps,
Thank You
