Disable touchpad edge gestures for all users

Windows H8

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to disable the edge gestures, touchpad only, for all users on Windows 8.1. Here's the scenario:

The laptops are touchscreen
You use the touchpad to move the cursor around and the Edge gesture is triggered (charms, recent apps etc)
There are hundreds Windows 8.1 laptops that will be put into production soon
The master image has already been created and installed on all of the laptops by the manufacturer
Each laptop will be used by several different users for testing, so disabling the gestures per computer per user/profile would be quite a headache

Model: Lenovo E431
Mouse: ThinkPad UltraNav pointing device
Driver: Synaptics 16.6.4.13

I haven't found a way to do it via group policy or the registry for all users. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply ectech but that seems to be a per user setting and I would have to touch each computer every time a new user logs in for the first time. I'm hoping to find a way to disable it for all users.
