Resolved turning off touch pad

i use a mouse and really need to turn off the touch since i hit it no matter how i try hard i try not to.
please help system spec in where they supposed to be.

 

Click the Windows Start button.
A popup menu should appear: click on its "Control Panel" item to
open the Control Panel window.
In the Control Panel window, find the "Mouse" icon and double-click
it.
In the Mouse window are various tabs that control your pointing
devices and cursor settings. There should be some options here to
disable your Touch Pad.

 

thanks guys got it fixed or unfixed as the case may be.
mr bill it was under mouse but you had to know where.
pete c downloaded the manual but couldnt get the "ts" in the index to show
so i ended up calling dell and finally got it done.
