I have to disable the touchpad or clickpad on a daily basis, because even though I disable it every day, it is back on the next morning with the power.  I tried to get rid of it by uninstalling Synaptic devices, but then I couldn't even disable it and it was on all the time.  So, I reinstalled Synaptics and am back to going through the disabling process every single day.  Is there no way at all to simply turn off the touchpad forever????
