JSI Tip 9287. How can I turn off the Office Language Bar?


Using REG.EXE, built into Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and later, or installed in Windows 2000 from the Support Tools on the operating system CD-ROM, I have scripted LBarOff.bat to hide the Office Language Bar.

The syntax for using LBarOff.bat is:

LBarOff

LBarOff.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
call :quiet>nul 2>&1
endlocal
goto :EOF
:quiet
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF" /V "Disable Thread Input Manager" /T REG_DWORD /F /D 1
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar" /V ExtraIconsOnMinimized /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar" /V ShowStatus /T REG_DWORD /F /D 2
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\MSUTB" /V ShowDeskBand /T REG_DWORD /F /D 1
