If you are using Snow Leopard you can set up the native track pad and mouse to be disabled automatically when you connect with the cordless mouse. Just go to System Preferences and look for the option under the Mouse preferences.

You can install this little software:

Sausage Fingers from Apple.

It will let you disable the touchpad from the status-bar.
