How do you disable touchscreen on Acer Iconia Windows 8 Tablet?

-1

I have a windows 8 acer Iconia touchscreen tablet. I was tracing an image onto paper on it, but it kept sensing me and I couldn't complete the tracing without the screen changing. So, I was wondering if there is a way to temporarily disable it. How do I disable it so it doesn't sense my touches?

What kind of tablet? Why would you want to disable a touch screen on a primarily touch device? – New-To-IT – 2015-01-30T22:12:51.350

You can disable driver in Device Manager. Run devmgmt.msc, identify touch device and disable the driver.

Sounds to me like a global solution to a local problem, but I suppose it does accomplish what the OP is after...
