How do I disable touchpad on Inspiron 1545 laptop

[krystil2222]

Too sensitive and I like using mouse instead.

I think if you double tap one of the corners, it will disable. Might be another manufacturer, though.

Mod Edit: One thread is enough.

On Windows 10, go to All settings>Devices>Touchpad and the switch the Touchpad from On to Off.
If you have an external mouse then uncheck Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected..

On Windows 7, Go to Control panel>Mouse>Dell touchpad image and the Pointing devices open
Click the box Disable Touchpad & Pointstick when USB mouse present.
I you don't have that option the install the Dell touchpad drivers.

You could also disable the touchpad in the Device manager on both Windows 7 and 10.
