Hi Bharat, Thanks for pointing me to this utility. Since 2 weeks now that I am using it, atleast while continuous typing, the inadvertant touch on the touchpad does not relocate my pc cursor. Apparently, there is no built in hot key for my Dell Inspiron model to deactivate/activate the touch pad. So your suggested software is the solution for me.

This program automatically disables mouse buttons for a small delay if some key has been pressed on a keyboard. Clicks are ignored just for a few moments, but it's enough to prevent the cursor from involuntary jumping.
