As an after-thought, some laptops allow this function to be turned off
in the BIOS, but this is not only an inaccessible place for JAWS, but
not a place for inexperienced users, so you'll need someone who knows
exactly what they are doing to check for this.
There be Dragons !!

On my work Latitude 7440 UltraBook it is Function Key+F5. The first press
of this combination turns the touch pad off, the 2nd press turns the touch
pad on and the stick off, the 3rd turns them both off, and the 4th press
turns them both on. The only odd thing is that after I use Function key+F5
to turn off the touch pad, somehow it is randomly turned back on. I'm
wondering if there is some type of gesture that turns it back on. I know
that sounds crazy since the touch pad is supposed to be turned off.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Disabling the mousepad on a Dell laptop
Does anyone know of a keystroke to disable or shut down the mousepad on a
Dell laptop? I don't even have to touch the thing for it to make the cursor
jump away from the application I'm working in. I've tried Device Manager
and there was no disable button or else JAWS couldn't read it.
Thanks for any help.
Arianna
