You can download them from HERE.
It will be located under "Mouse and Keyboards". It will be the Touchpad/pointing stick drivers.
Make sure you select the correct operating system before you download.
This is what mine looks like. Your software may be different.

My first question is do you have Dells touchpad software installed on your system? If not, then the option will not be there.
If not, install the proper driver for your notebook and it will be there.
Once the drivers are installed, open Control Panel --> Mouse --> Dell Touchpad.
Click on the large screen with an arrow, which will open the touchpad configuration window.
Click on 'Device Select', and right at the bottom is a box which you can tick to 'Disable Touchpad/Pointing Stick when a USB mouse is connected.
As soon as you tick that option, a message will pop up in the taskbar, confirming your selection.
You can make doubly sure however, by also choosing 'Disable' under the Touchpad' heading in the same window.
Be sure to click 'Apply' once you've made your selections.
