I don't see any option in the mouse settings area about how to change this.  Thanks

(I keep hitting it accidentally while typing on my tiny netbook)  :)

Thank You

Open up the menu and type mouse, you should see Mouse and Trackpad, select that and look around to see if there is an option that suits your needs.

Settings - Mouse & Touchpad :

Where it says Device there's a dropbox next to it.
Choose your trackpad/touchpad from the list and use the switch next to it to disable.
