Re: Can I turn off the touchpad on my laptop? (Dell Inspiron 8100)

Ok, so the bios change was a joke, it let me turn on or off both the trackstick and touchpad, but not independently.

Apparently, there was a patch from Dell (a 3rd party software?) that can control the track stick and touchpad independently, and the mouse buttons on the laptop itself.

Now I have a system tray icon that is a shortcut right to the changer for this. Yay!

What a pain in the butt that was.
