Is there any way to remove the Windows 8 start on the right side in touch screens?

I am attempting to create a kiosk using Windows 8, but the menu that pop ups on the right side when one slides one's fingers in that area is an issue.

Wait for Windows 8.1 to get the official kiosk mode:

That's called the "Charms Bar", and the menu that appears with white icons whenever you hover over it is called the hint. I found this guide which explains disabling that "feature".

Just remember that if there is access to the keyboard or on-screen keyboard the charms bar can still be accessed with SUPER+C.

I followed the guide. It removed the bar for the mouse but not for touch. – John – 2013-06-10T18:30:27.320

After some searching, I found that this program will disable the charm bar for touch screens.
