Windows 7 touch screen - disabling multi-touch gesture not working

I have a touch screen computer with Windows 7 and I would like to disable the multi-touch gesture :

enter image description here

But even if I disable it and apply the changes, when I reopen the window, the option is enabled again...

Any idea where I can disable it for good ? (maybe in the registry...)

Up: still have the problem.
