Hi peipanyaki,
You have the Dell Inspiron 3542. To enable and disable the touchpad please follow the steps mentioned below.
Please connect an external USB mouse on the system.
Double click the Touchpad icon in the system tray
Disable it on the application window by clicking Touchpad On/Off.
Please remove the picture from the previous post as this would violate Dell customer privacy policy.
Please let me know if this helps.

Hi, when you say system tray means the right bottom part of the desktop right?
if i am right, I cannot find the touchpad icon in the system tray.
Please refer to the screen shot below
By the way, may I know why it's Inspiron 3542 and the sticker on my laptop is Inspiron 15?
Thanks
