On VAIO Laptops, there is usually an application called "Sony Notebook
Setup". On the "Device" tab, remove the checkbox on "Pointing Device" and
click OK. This will disable the touchpad.

You'll have to remember to re-enable the touchpad (using the reverse) before
using the computer without the mouse.
