Disable Charms Bar when using track pad on laptop?

Is there a way to disable the Charms Bar from coming up AT ALL when making ANY type of motions, gestures, etc on a laptop track pad?

My sister has a laptop with windows 8 and some random gestures she'll make (they're very generic movements) brings up the Charms bar and interrupts her work, which is imperative that it DOES NOT.

I have tried software and creating registry keys. But that has only disabled Charms when moving to the right hand side of the screen.

Charms is the only issue. If I can disable it, she won't have to dish out $100 more for Windows 7.

Is there anyway to disable it permanently from being activated with the track pad? I know it can be accessed with the Windows key + another key.

But this Charms is very intrusive, disruptive and interruptive to her work.

Turn off all Touch screen emulation features to make the touchpad emulate only a mouse.  Then the Charms bar can only appear when the mouse pointer is in either the top or bottom corner on the right.  Alternatively get a real mouse and disable the Touchpad completely, enabling it only when desiring to experiment with Touch screen emulation features.

Thanks for the answer, I'm having the same annoying problem. How do you turn off all touch screen emulation features to make the touchpad emulate only a mouse? Thank you Vincent

Coincidentally I happen to have a URL in my ClipBoard which demonstrates this
