I would like to try disabling the touch screen on my Lenovo X220 to diagnose odd mouse jumps. Looking at Lenovo forum answers the way to do this is to 'Go to Control Panel "Pen and Touch" and uncheck "Use your finger for input" on the Touch tab'. However I do not see such a check-box:
How do I disable touch?

If you can't disable it through the control panel, you can disable it through the Device Manager.
Open a Run dialog (Win + R).
Type in: devices.msc and hit Enter.
Find this device under Mice and other pointing devices:

this doesn't work. The touch screen is reenabled after reboot/sleep etc. – Shahar Prish – 2018-11-03T07:42:42.933

Control Panel → Hardware and Sound → (Devices and Printers) Device Manager
Human-Interface Devices
Right click on HID Compliant touch screen and choose Disable
You may enable it later by the same way.

Also, your link doens't seem to go where you say it should. – Michael Frank – 2013-12-23T20:11:09.210
1@MichaelFrank Just because the existing answers on the question aren't satisfactory, doesn't make it a different question. Also, the link to that question goes to that question (system generated), so I'm not sure what you mean. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2013-12-24T14:50:10.990
@techie007, sorry my second comment was directed towards dumbledad and the link he provided in his post. – Michael Frank – 2013-12-24T19:23:55.700
