disable pop up keyboard

I have an Acer Aspire M series and the annoying virtual touchscreen keyboard pops up everytime I am somewhere where I need to type . I have turned it off . It is not selected under Toolbars and my taskbar is locked.

 

I want the thing GONE. Please help. I dont want to turn off the charms that come in from the right side.

 

I am running  8.1.

 

Thanks,

Curt

It took 2 seconds and I learned about the Services section of Windows on my Acer Aspire.

 

I wish you a very Merry Christmas. You have made mine merrier. Thank you
