Product: HP Notebook - 17-by0085cl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an Elan Touchpad which I would like to DISABLE when a wireless USB mouse is plugged in. I am not a novice at computers. There is no option to auto-disable when a USB mouse is plugged in, and there is no option to simply disable it manually (i.e. double-tap top left corner of the pad).  So, is it possible? I can dump the device from device manager and wipe out the drivers, but I would rather avoid that if possible. 

Thanks.

Okay -- nevermind. I decided to see if there was a native app on my system and there was. For those who need to know in the future, click START > type "ELAN" and it has its own control panel features.
