You shouldn't need to, however, if you're determined...
Follow all of the steps you would to change your cursor. However, instead of changing your cursor, tab over to 'Device Settings' and click on the name of your touchpad in the list. Then click Disable. Follow any confirmation windows (eg. Do you really want to disable your touchpad??)... and presto, your touchpad is now 'permanently' disabled (it can be re-enabled by going to that menu again and clicking 'Enable')
Hope this helps
Hi there,
To turn off the touchpad when an external mouse or other pointing device is present, you can go to the Control Panel and double click the Mouse properties icon. a) Click the Device Select tab and check "Disable Touch Pad when USB Pointing Device is present." The cursor will no longer move via the touchpad. Alternatively, you can permanently disable the touchpad of your laptop by clicking the "Disable Device" in the Touch Pad setting
