How To Remove the Windows XP Language Bar

I just want to briefly point out how to disable the Windows XP language bar from reappearing after every system restart, because it was bothering me for a long time. For some reason I assumed I would not be able to fix this for no good reason, and the pain wasn't so bad that I cared enough about it, but today I decided to look up how to do this and it was quite simple to do once the steps were laid out, so I wanted to pass this information along in case it helps someone else.

  1. Click Start, select Control Panel, and then select Regional and Language Options.
  2. On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
  3. Under Preferences, click Language Bar.
  4. Uncheck the Show the Language bar on the desktop check box.
  5. Press OK and the Language Bar will be gone
