问题

超级用户阅读器toriloukas想知道如何永久禁用笔记本电脑上的触摸板：

I own a Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it and have been trying to permanently disable the touchpad. I installed the appropriate driver in order to manage my touchpad preferences and successfully disabled it, but once the machine was rebooted, the touchpad was active once again. I really do not care if I need to keep disabling it each time I restart my laptop, but does anyone know of a way to permanently disable it?

永久禁用笔记本电脑触摸板的最佳（或最简单）方法是什么？

答案

超级用户贡献者Steven和Scott为我们提供了答案。首先，史蒂文：

Approach 1 – BIOS

The touchpad can often be disabled in BIOS. On my Dell Latitude E6430s, the option is POST Behavior > Mouse/Touchpad. There is even an option to disable the touchpad only if an external mouse is attached.

Approach 2 – Device Manager

Open the Control Panel, then go to System > Device Manager. Navigate to the Mouse Option, right click on it, and click Disable.

Approach 3 – Physically Disconnect

According to a disassembly video (link shown below), it appears that you can unplug the touchpad by removing the keyboard (at 3:45) and removing the **all ribbon cable near the touchpad.

接着是斯科特的回答：

The keyboard shortcut Win + X will open the Windows Mobility Center. On my Dell Inspiron (with Windows 7 installed on it), it looks like this:

I disabled my touchpad there and it has remained disabled through many reboots.
