How to disable touch input in Windows 8
Guides Windows 8 developer preview of Windows, the first preview version of Windows 8, allows users to turn off, touch input, without modifying system files or modifying the registry. In the developer preview you could open the pen and touch control panel to see that you disable the touch input.
Microsoft removed this option from the RTM build of Windows 8, and there is no option in Control Panel to disable the touch input.

Users who have Windows 8 on a touch device, and want to touch input, for any reason, follow the instructions below to completely disable touch input in Windows to turn off the eighth

NOTE: If the touch input is disabled, you will not be able to shutdown, restart or perform other actions on the touch screen. So go with these instructions only if you have a couple of physical keyboard and mouse. Note that Windows does not allow even the touch input after a restart. Do you have the original settings to make your touch again.
