Re: Deactivating my MBP's Track Pad
Another thing you could try is enabling Mouse Keys in accessibility preferences, available from the System Preferences app. This normally allows the mouse to be controllable using keyboard keys. There is an option to ignore the built-in trackpad when you’ve enabled Mouse Keys.

Re: Deactivating my MBP's Track Pad
Also, if you tell VoiceOver to ignore the mouse cursor in the VO Utility, then once the trackpad commander is off, you never know the mouse is there at all.

It does help if you make sure you have trackpad commander turned off in voiceover utility. Also, if I recall correctly, if you connect a bluetooth trackpad, the built-in one then will not be active as long as the bluetooth one is. But I'm not absolutely sure about that so get somebody else to confirm it before you go out and buy a bluetooth trackpad. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
