help!

Additionally, you might be able to check in Control Panel for a touchpad option somewhere. There might be something there, if there is a way to adjust it.

You can disable the touchpad by going into device manager(Start->Run->devmgmt.msc). In there you look for Mice and other pointing devices you double click on your touchpad and on the new window that pops up at the bottom there's a drop down menu where you can choose to disable the touchpad. Apply all the changes and that's it.

Thing is, though, the user may still have a need for the touchpad. They might just want it to be less sensitive.

First thing he asked how to disable it so I gave him that. ;)
