I have read your post and after I read your problem I will help you to solve your problem. To disable the touch pad you need to go to my computer and after that go to the my computer properties and after that go to the device manger and then you will find the touch pad option just click on it and disable the touch pad option. After doing that just restart the laptop and then your touch pad will be disabled, but make sure whenever you’re going to remove mouse then first enable the touch pad then remove the mouse.

If you are not able to disable it permanently then I think you have to turn it off from start up list. To perform this you need first click on the run and then type MSCONFIG then you will find one dialog box. In that click on start up and then there you will find the option of your touchpad now just unselect it and click on OK after that click on exit. And it will automatically restart the laptop and your problem will be solved. I hope this information will be helpful to you.

I have read you post and after that I followed all your steps exactly as you have mentioned. And your idea of changing the setting from MSCONFIG really worked for me. Now I have successfully disabled the touchpad and I am not facing any problems with that. Now the entire things are going perfectly and I am really happy for that. thank you for helping me to solve this problem. I really appreciate your help.
