My windows 7 now has touch-screen mode on, how do I disable it?

1

So, I have a fairly new EliteBook 8570p, but when I was working a sign came on and showed a finger wiping across a screen. I soon realized that turned on touchscreen even though I don't have a touchscreen for my Windows 7. I have tried doing "Touch and Pen" and that doesn't work. When I looked on here I saw a post somewhat like this and the answer said to look on the "Device Manager", but when I looked there was still nothing there. How do I fix this it really bothers me.

Never mind I ended up finding it when I looked at Synaptic pointing device. :D – user291738 – 2014-01-20T19:49:22.377

There are two ways to do this:

Use the command

dism /online /disable-feature:TabletPCOC

or through the sequence: Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off > UNcheck the box for "Tablet PC Components" and OK etc.
