I can't get devcon to turn off my touchpad.
This is what I am using.
c:\z_keep\i386\devcon disable *ACPI\SYN0141

I just underwent a similar exercise in order to disable a network
interface use devcon. This article helped me find the hardware ID of
the card - maybe it will be helpful to you:

You can use the following :
devcon find ACPI*
....to see if you have the right name for your device, as this command
should list all devices conforming to the ACPI spec...

There's a suggestion here, to try using quotes and adding "@"
to the command.
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/10144-disable-touchpad-if-external-mouse-is-present/
devcon.exe disable "@HID\VID_045E&PID_0053\6&2F9F85F9&0&0000"
But the problem remains, that if you do it to Touchpad, it
still fails to work.

Andy expressed precisely :
Not sure this helps but there's an option in *Control Panel > Mouse >
Device* tab to disable (Synaptics) touchpad whenever I have a USB mouse
plugged in. (XP Pro SP3 on Dell Precision M90 portable workstation)

Can you deactivate it manually in the Device Manager?
What does devcon say when it "is not working"?

Andy,
Yes, Uwe, and also in Device Manager you could look for the "Power
Options" tab, in it's [the device's] properties page. It's my thought that
maybe you *have* got the [devcon] syntax right, but that the device is not
enabled for power save switching by the OS (Windows enabled APM)...
