Language Bar Turn Off Advanced Text services Global Policy

  • 772

Is there a way I can set a global policy to turn off advanced text services so I can stop having to click this checkbox 8 million times?

Client base is all Windows XP and the domain controller is Windows Server 2003.

windows-server-2003

  1. The Language Bar is annoying and, as far as I can tell, useless to the majority of users. I use a registry edit to remove it...

    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}] @="Language bar" "MenuTextPUI"="@%SystemRoot%\System32\msutb.dll,-325"

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

    Furthermore, once you know the registry setting, you can create a custom Administrative Template and deploy this via group policies.
