With Windows XP Pro, the “Language Bar” always appears in your taskbar on startup. To disable it, go to the Control Panel -> Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Details… -> Language Bar… -> Uncheck the box that says “Show the Language bar on the desktop”.

elliot, thanks! you’re the first result on a google search for “disable language bar at startup”- couldn’t have been easier- thanks!

lbi, nj
thank you it was driving me nutz!
Oh lord- I have been trying to figure this thing out for months. At first I thought Skype was doing it! Thanks a mil for the post.
This appeared after I did a Windows Update and I couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Thanks for making clear instructions. FYI, this works in XP non-Pro edition with the difference being the “Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options” Icon is two separate icons with “Date & Time” being one of them.
Thanks, it had been annoying me for a long time as well!
Im really glad of the existence of forums, keep it going!
