Go to this Dell site and download the User's guide for you
laptop:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd810/en/ug/usersgd.chm

Enter touch pad in the search box. Double click on "Using the
Keyboard and Touch Pad" in the results box. In the right hand
pane, scroll down to "Customizing the Touch Pad". According to
Dell, you can go into Control Panel, double click on Mouse and
disable the touch pad per the instructions.

Good luck
