Hi Bruce,
Sorry that was the 32-bit only one. Try this one, which handles 64-bit too, and
therefore Windows 2008 R2. Joe has a point though. Resources were scarce under
32-bit, which is really not such an issue under 64-bit. But still...some of us
are set in our ways :)
---------------------------start of .cmd script------------------------
:: Disable the Language Bar
IF EXIST %SystemRoot%\system32\MSCTF.dll regsvr32 /u /s
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSCTF.dll
IF EXIST %SystemRoot%\system32\MSUTB.dll regsvr32 /u /s
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSUTB.dll
IF /I NOT "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" (
IF EXIST %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\MSCTF.dll regsvr32 /u /s
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSCTF.dll
IF EXIST %SystemRoot%\sysWOW64\MSUTB.dll regsvr32 /u /s
%SystemRoot%\system32\MSUTB.dll
)
:: Disable CTFMON the easy way by denying Users the ability to execute it
TAKEOWN /f "%SystemRoot%\System32\ctfmon.exe"
ICACLS "%SystemRoot%\System32\ctfmon.exe" /remove:g Users /deny Users:(X)
/grant Administrators:F /grant System:F
ICACLS "%SystemRoot%\System32\ctfmon.exe" /setowner "NT
Service\TrustedInstaller"
IF /I NOT "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" (
TAKEOWN /f "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\ctfmon.exe"
ICACLS "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\ctfmon.exe" /remove:g Users /deny Users:^(X^)
/grant Administrators:F /grant System:F
ICACLS "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\ctfmon.exe" /setowner "NT
Service\TrustedInstaller"
)
:: Hide language bar for the .Default user
SET KEY=HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\CTF
REG ADD "%KEY%\LangBar" /V ShowStatus /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F
REG ADD "%KEY%\MSUTB" /V ShowDeskBand /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F
:: Remove CTFMON from the Run key
SET KEY=HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
REG DELETE "%KEY%" /v "CTFMON.EXE" /f
---------------------------end of .cmd script------------------------
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Any particular reason it must die? It seems as Microsoft really really wants
it to be there.

i must be missing something. I have my own script that similar but it wasnt
working....works fine on 2003
i've applied jeremy's cmd as an admin. killed all cached and roaming profiles
for users, tried again and no dice. i've also called the vbs in usrlogon2 and
still see the lang bar when launching excel.

The Office Language Bar used to be so easy to remove on Server 2003. Does any
one have a step by step on how to do this on 2008R2? Should i just pop a reg
key into CU?
