Again, my resolution required CMOS because my laptop had both a touchpad and 
a touchstick, and I could only disable one at a time. Using the CMOS shut 
them both down.

Subject: Disabling the touch pad on a lap top


Most lap tops have a key stroke, or a system tray way of
enabling/disabling the touch pad.  For my Toshiba, it was
function-f9, and for our Dell it's in the system tray.  I want it
turned off, of course; but the sighted folks sharing the computer
want it turned on.
