The Windows 8 swipe gestures are totally frustrating me. When I quickly brush my thumb or finger across the touchpad (not touch screen) on my laptop, the swipe feature kicks in and then my screen goes back to previously viewed apps and pages instead of staying on the page I need.

This is very frustrating.

When I google for advice on this problem, I find people voicing the same frustration and asking how to disable the swipe feature, but there's no easy way to do so.

Are there any tips on how to get used to this swipe feature and how to keep my screen from constantly changing back to previously viewed apps and pages? How do I quickly move my cursor around the screen without engaging the swipe feature??
