Ability to disable finger touch input
Would it be possible to add a function to disable finger touch input? We got the new Smart Podium SP624 and don't need the touch input it only creates small useability problems for our users.

I have the SP524, with the reverse problem I can't enable touch. Someone threw away the pen and I wanted to get it to work as a touchscreen for my desktop computer. Try this setting in your Smart Software if it is not greyed out as mine you might be able to shut off the touch capacity.

We would also like to have the option to disable touch.
> we found a workaround which is not optimal.
1. disable smartboardservice.exe (no more use of side buttons)
2. Disable touchgate in registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch]
"TouchGate"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Wisp\Touch]
"TouchGate"=dword:00000000 -

Same. Having the ability to naively disable the touch screen features so I can rest my hand on the screen while writing would be a great feature to have.
However I did find a workaround for Windows 10 computers . Go into the Device Manager, expand the option "Human Interface Devices" and right click on and disable "HID-compliant touch screen". There are going to be many to choose from, just gotta try them one at a time until you find the one that does it.
Screen shot attached of the one that did it for me.

It would be great if the touch function could be turned off. In order to write clearly, it helps to rest my hand on the screen. But when I do that, it leads to unwanted activity.
