Windows – Disabling charms bar in windows 8.1 for touchscreens

Windows 8 now has touch gestures which are available on multi touch trackpads. If you slide your finger in from the right of the trackpad the charms menu will likely appear. It happens to me a lot as well. Another thing that happens with me is the start menu popping up. This is because if you open the charms menu via a gesture and then let go, the start menu will open as it is selected by default. Give it a try and see if it is what you are experiencing. If so you might just want to disable that gesture.

Have a look at your mouse settings in Control Panel. There will likely be a setting which modifies how the trackpad can be used. It is different for each driver so I can't give you very specific instructions.

This may be a solution for you: how do i turn off windows 8 gestures or on Superuser (a related question)

I quite sure that it isn't possible to have a mouse function in the way you wanted it to, unless you could somehow find a pen tablet driver that is compatible with mice as well as tablets while having the same functionality between the two (which I'm quite sure doesn't exist). The closest I'd say you are to getting touchscreen functionality is actually getting a touch screen- or the next best thing, a tablet, like this one here: http://www.wacom.com/products/pen-tablets/bamboo/bamboo-capture. They come in varying sizes and prices, and provide touchscreen-like capabilities. The tablet that I linked to (above) is compatible with Windows Touch input and therefor can be programed to function exactly like a touch display.
