There was once a nice little utility called TouchControl.exe that went into your system tray, and you could double click it to turn off touch. I can't find any live links for it, but I still have it on my laptop. Unfortunately I have not way to share it.

The long way to turn off touch is under control panel > pen and touch input. You can turn off touch (or just multitouch) in there.
