How do I remove the on screen keyboard from the logon screen in Windows Remote Desktop Server 2008 R2?

The on screen keyboard (OSK) from the "ease of access" tools pops up on EVERY connect to the server, even if you have not activated it.

I can't seem to find a control panel or reg setting to switch it off.

It is VERY "in your face" for linux users who connect at lower resolutions and do not provide all credentials, but have to type username and password.

I'm running a 2008 R2 Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Server.
