Disable Tablet PC

[Jib]

I have just obtained a new computer with Vista Ultimate. It came with the
Tablet PC. I use a Wacom tablet.

At this time I do not use handwriting and therefore find the small icon that
appears all the time quite annoying. So I wnat to know how I can disable this
until I want to use it.
Thanks

Disable the tablet in Device Manager.

Thank you Mark. In Device Manager I can only find reference to my Wacom
tablet. What I want to disable is the Tablet PC. Where in Device driver can I
find it?
Thanks.

Thank you "Sinclair". I went to the Control panel-rt. clicked on the Pen and
Input Devices icon - chose the Flicks Tab and unchecked the "Display flicks
...." box. Then I Restarted the computer and the little box (with the pen in
it) keeps poping up. Did I do the wrong thing? If not, have you anything else
to suggest?

 

[Sinclair]

No. You did the right thing. You now by saying …the little box….makes me
think we’re not talking about the same icon. The flicks icon I meant is a
little hand holding a pen.

I dunno what else to suggest.
