help make disabling touch in desktop easier in Win 8!!
Hey everyone-
We all know Windows 8 would be better if you could toggle touch on and off so drawing in programs like Sketchbook would be better.... no accidental hand strokes.
In Win 8, MS has removed the easy ability to disable touch. BOOOOOOO!
Sign into this forum and vote helpful on my post to see if we can bump this issue into their heads. It is crap to have to go to device manager and disable HID devices manually to achieve a simple, and necessary part of Windows on a tablet.
vote up here
Please help this cause!

OK, I voted. It is rediculaous to expect home users to go into device management to enable / disable touch. Their Human Interface designers need to get real.

Re: help make disabling touch in desktop easier in Win 8!!
Hey there,
Just go to device manager --> Human Interface Devices --> EETI PCAP MulitTouch Digitizer --> disable/enable
I don't find this much more difficult than the old option, just harder to figure out.
Hope this helps you till they implement a better solution.

Re: help make disabling touch in desktop easier in Win 8!!
the thing about disabling EETI is that from that point forward the onscreen keyboard looks as attached...
the only way to get the big keyboard back is to restart. Even if you re-enable it, the keyboard is tiny until you restart the machine.
That is lame....---------------------------------------------------------

Re: help make disabling touch in desktop easier in Win 8!!
I'm using the devcon scripts posted here: EP121 easy touch disable or palm rejection adjustment
I just put shortcuts to the on/off scripts on the desktop. Not as nice as the windows button solution I had under Windows 7, but it works. I wish there was a way to auto disable whenever the pen is close to the screen...
