Disable Tablet PC

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?

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.
