What is the best (or easiest) way to permanently disable the touchpad on a laptop? The Answer I really do not care if I need to keep disabling it each time I restart my laptop, but does anyone know of a way to permanently disable it?

I own a Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it and have been trying to permanently disable the touchpad.
