This is what I use...

:: 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

:: 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"

::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

SET KEY=HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
REG DELETE "%KEY%" /v "CTFMON.EXE" /f

Cheers,
Jeremy.

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?
