Does the mouse on your laptop move when you haven't touched it? You may be brushing against the touchpad without realizing it. However, you can turn off the touchpad when the mouse is connected!

1. In the Control Panel, switch to View by: Large Icons, then select Mouse to open the Mouse Properties dialog box.
2. Click on the link that says Click to change Dell Touchpad settings.
3. On the Dell Pointing Devices window, locate the image of the mouse at the top of the window, and click on it.
4. At the bottom of the Mouse Settings window, click the checkbox that says Disable Touchpad & Pointstick when USB Mouse present.
5. Close the window, and click OK on the Mouse Properties dialog box.

The touchpad and pointer stick will be active when your mouse is not plugged in, but will be disabled when your mouse is plugged in.

Note: These instructions are for a Dell laptop using Windows 7, but should give you an idea of where to look, even if you have a different computer.
