Hello.

 

If I tap the touchpad it registers as a left mouse click. How do I turn off this function?

I can find some of the touchpad settings in the control panel, but not one regarding this. 

Currently using windows 8.1 on an Aspire E 15.

    It sounds like you need to disable the tap feature. This can usually be adjusted by opening the mouse properties in the Control Panel, clicking on the far tab that says ELAN or Synaptics and opening the properties there for "fine tuning". If you have the Windows Precision touchpad that option may not be available, but you can go into the BIOS and change the touchpad from Advanced to Basic and it will work like a regular mouse, which might get you what you want.
