I think this is the appropriate forum...
Last week I installed windows 7, no language bar to be seen.
Last night I reinstalled it on my raid and now there is a language bar on my taskbar (which I can hide) and a icon on my welcome starup screen.
Why this difference and how do I get rid of it permanently?
Here's something you could do if you want to really hide it
Windows 7 – Disable Language Bar via Registry FrontSlash
That looks like it will only affect the one on the taskbar whether it shows or not...
Ill try it but I wonder about the welcome screen icon. Is there no way to completely disable it?
I don't have the option to see the settings I guess because I don't have the language bar, but I found this. Hope it helps
How to turn off the Language bar
Maybe if this does not work, someone with the program will help you. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Have a good one.
I figured it out. You need to go to Region and Language in control panel and remove all but the keyboard you want. See when I installed this last time I set my location as Canada which is correct but then it gives me 3 keyboards. So i immediately thought ok I will just remove the other keyboard but they were still on the welcome screen. So the next critical step is to go to the administrative tab and copy settings over to new users and welcome screen.
