I have big hands, and I always have problems when I am typing on my laptop, and I somehow activate the touchpad, and mess up what I was typing, and end up opening a web page or the start menu!
There usually are some settings that can help you. Here are a couple tips to help stop the touchpad annoyance.

On older laptops with Windows XP, open the Control Panel and then double-click Mouse. If you see a Device Select tab, click it and enable Disable TouchPad when USB pointing device is present.
On a Vista notebook, there is a Tapping tab in the Mouse Properties window. If you enable Tap off when typing, this will keep the touchpad from recognizing taps while you’re typing.
If your laptop doesn't have this option, look for something similar, many times there is a program specifically for your laptop brand.
On a Toshiba, you can double click on the icon in the system tray by the clock, or the mouse properties in Control panel, and go to Advanced Settings/Features > and Detailed Touch Pad Settings.

Find the enable tap settings on that menu. Click on Tap Settings. Then find the tapping menu. Locate disable touchpad during key input. Put a check in that box to disable the touchpad while using the keyboard.
On some Acer Aspires, you can use the hotkey Fn + F7 keys to turn off and on the internal touchpad.
There are several other laptops that have this feature, using the Fn in combination with another key to turn off the touchpad. The Fn key is usually located on the lower left of the keyboard, usually in a different color than the regular keys.
