How to get rid of horrible GUI functionality

[Davin Pearson]

My new computer is a laptop and from time to time my fingers brush against the 
mouse sensor pad, causing the following window to appear:

Change Default Buffer Size
Change Buffer Font
Increase Text Size
Decrease Text Size
Reset to Default

I want to kill such pop up windows as it annoys me when I am trying to use GNU 
Emacs to do useful work.

Does anyone know how to go about disabling the mouse sensor pad, given that I 
have purchased an old fashioned mouse for GUI work.
