Touchpad & Vista HP

Is it possible to turn off the touchpad on an Acer Aspire 2920z running
Vista Home Premium? My wife uses this system as a 'desktop' and finds
the touchpad a nuisance as she keeps brushing it while she is typing!
I've tried all the Control Panel options. I remember doing it in XP.
