Have you looked at Control Panel, then Mouse? Otherwise it may be in Control Panel but given a different title by DELL, though it should be obvious what it is. Failing that, I've seen many users cover the pad with something like one of these store collector's points cards, which look and feel like a credit card. If you just tape it down on one side, it can them be opened like a book to allow someone to use it if needs be.

If so, how can this be done. I can't find any place to disable this. It's interfering with my typing. I would really appreciate the help.
