Language Bar Office 2003

[stolaf]

If this has been addressed before, I apologize.

I'm trying to stop the language bar in Office 2003 from appearing upon first use. I don't want to remove the language bar completely as I support a small college and I know many people find this tool useful.

I just don't want ever user to see it when they first start Microsoft Word. From what I can tell from my limited testing, the reg tweak:

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

completely removes the language bar so that no user may load it if they so wish.

How do I just prevent it from displaying on first use without completely disabling it?

do a registry snapshot before you run the word for the first time, and then after you run it; after that, compare the snapshots...
