[plug] Is it possible to disable trackpad on laptop?

[David Buddrige]

Hi all,

I run Ubuntu on my laptop, but a constant annoyance is the trackpad.
When I am typing I invariably [accidentally] bump the trackpad which
usually changes the window focus to whereever the mouse pointer happens
to be at that time.

I use a plug in mouse with my laptop and was wondering if anyone knew
how to disable the trackpad on the laptop.  I've had a look through the
menus etc a few times but have not been able to figure out how [or if]
it can be done?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

thanks 

David. 8-)
