Windows – Disable the “auto” onscreen keyboard in Vista/Windows7

accessibilitykeyboardwindows 7windows-vista

I am using a multi-touch HP PC, and I want to disable the on-screen keyboard that pops up when a text input field gets focus.

This is the same keyboard as when you touch the left side of the screen.

Is there a way to disable this keyboard?

Your answers are not for what was asked. Wants to know how to close "Tablet PC Input Panel". Follow instructions below:

To exit Input Panel When you click the Close button , Input Panel slides back to the edge of the screen. If you want to turn off Input Panel completely so that it is no longer running on your desktop, do the following:

1.Open Input Panel.

2.Click Tools, and then click Exit.
