The touchpad, or as it is also called the touch mouse, is an excellent invention, but for modern conditions this device moves into the background, because today almost every laptop comes with a separate and small USB mouse.
Instructions
Step 1
Surely many laptop and netbook users noticed how often the touchpad is sometimes, i.e. touch panel, spoils the mood and significantly increases the time spent on work. For example, when typing a lot of text, the thumb of both hands is above the space bar. But next to the space there is also a touchpad, when pressed, the cursor moves to another part of the document. If you rarely take your eyes off the keyboard, you will see that some of the text has jumped.
Step 2
When buying a laptop, some users look at the work of individual programs, then remove or disable unnecessary ones (in their opinion). Most touchpads today are manufactured by Synaptics. Devices of this company can be removed only with the installed program, but since a competent user got rid of it, therefore, it is not within his power to perform this operation.
Step 3
If this program was not on the laptop, it is recommended to refer to the original source, i.e. visit the laptop manufacturer's web page and in the Download section look for anything related to Synaptics. You can also disable it by pressing the Fn + F7 keyboard shortcut. Some laptop models have specific prompts in the form of pictures on the buttons. The touchpad disable button, as a rule, is located on the F7 key - a rectangular panel and an extended index finger are drawn on it.
Step 4
In some cases, the touchpad can be disabled through the Device Manager applet, which can be invoked through the My Computer context menu. You need to find the touch device, call its context menu and select the "Disable" command.
Step 5
Well, the most radical way is to apply a strip of wide adhesive tape to the touch panel, but this should be done only in cases where other methods have not brought an effect.
