Hardware is not one of my proficiencies - and that's an understatement. Simple
two questions (yes, I searched and remain confused).

I plugged a Logitech USB trackball into my laptop:

1. Is there any way to program what the middle button does?
2. Is there some way of disabling the laptop's touch-pad? 

Thanks
