Can i remove synaptics pointing device driver from startup

I can disable it, and I can also ask it to disable whilst I use an external compliant mouse. It is like the Night of the Living Dead. It cannot be killed. I don't actually want to kill it in the event that I ever need it, but to be a left handed person with a touchpad on the left- ish side, my text skips around like a loon.

It scrolls as it is touched and drives me insane. I cannot understand why when you disable it, it changes it's settings as if you were only kidding with it.
