Win32 API function to programmatically enable/disable device
You can enable/disable devices from Win32 (and hence from C# via P/Invoke) using the SetupDi APIs but not all devices are "disable-able" in this way.
The problem you'll run into trying to disable your touchpad from Win32 (or WMI or any other API which calls down into the SetupDi* family of functions) is that the default mouse driver which is in most laptops with a touchpad ("PS/2 compatible mouse") doesn't support being disabled using SetupDi API's. I suspect this may be because actual old mice using PS/2 connectors can't be hot-detached without hosing the hardware.
To verify that you can't disable, go into Device Manager and right-click on your mouse driver. If you see a disable option, you can use SetupDi to disable it. If no disable option, you're out of luck... welcome to IOCTL-land!
If you do see a disable option, then the code below (ported to C# from a VB sample I found here) should let you disable and re-enable the device.
Here's the code to call the library:
public static void EnableMouse(bool enable)
{
// every type of device has a hard-coded GUID, this is the one for mice
Guid mouseGuid = new Guid("{4d36e96f-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}");
// get this from the properties dialog box of this device in Device Manager
string instancePath = @"ACPI\PNP0F03\4&3688D3F&0";
DeviceHelper.SetDeviceEnabled(mouseGuid, instancePath, enable);
}
Here's the library itself, adapted from here.

Note that when you get an Index-Out-Of-Bounds exception on the line int index = GetIndexOfInstance(diSetHandle, diData, instanceId);, you might have used the wrong classGuid for the device or the wrong instanceId.
Also note that when you run this code on a 64-bit Windows platform, you should target the 64-bit platform when you build your application. Otherwise - i.e. when running your application as a 32-bit process on a 64-bit Windows platform - you will get an SetupAPI error InWow64 (ERROR_IN_WOW64).
When targetting a 64-bit Windows platform, you might also have to make changes to other parts of your application, e.g. when doing pointer arithmetic, in order to prevent overflows.

I haven't messed with this stuff before, but just reading the comment on that other question, it looks like the suggestion is to do this:
private static string GetStringPropertyForDevice(IntPtr info, SP_DEVINFO_DATA devdata, uint propId)
{
uint proptype, outsize;
IntPtr buffer = IntPtr.Zero;
try
{
SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyW(
info,
ref devdata,
propId,
out proptype,
IntPtr.Zero,
0,
ref outsize);
uint buflen = outsize;
buffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal((int)buflen);
outsize = 0;
SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyW(
info,
ref devdata,
propId,
out proptype,
buffer,
buflen,
ref outsize);
byte[] lbuffer = new byte[outsize];
Marshal.Copy(buffer, lbuffer, 0, (int)outsize);
int errcode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
if (errcode == ERROR_INVALID_DATA) return null;
CheckError("SetupDiGetDeviceProperty", errcode);
return Encoding.Unicode.GetString(lbuffer);
}
finally
{
if (buffer != IntPtr.Zero)
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(buffer);
}
}
Call SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryPropertyW with no buffer first, just to get the outsize value, then use that as your buffer size. This avoids creating a buffer of arbitrary length which could be exceeded, at the cost of making the call twice.
Again- I haven't tested this or anything, it just seems like what the person writing that comment was intending. Hopefully it works!
How do I disable a system device programmatically?
Looks like there were two things in drf's version that were giving you trouble. Your x64 problem was caused by SP_DEVINFO_DATA having a uint where an IntPtr was needed. The second is that the SetupDiGetDevicePropertyW function is Vista+ and won't run on XP.
Here's a version with those two issues corrected. I tested as x86 and AnyCPU on XPx86 and Win7X64.
