Quick Launch VS Language Bar

[qafyg]

Weird Problem,

I was using this code to add the quick launch bar to all my profiles and it was working :

I was looking around for a way to hide the language bar next to the time in the lower right corner of the screen and found this registry tweak :

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

But as soon as I use this registry, the quick launch bar doesnt appear anymore. I tried to compile my .iso twice and it didnt work. I removed the last registry key and now the quick launch bar is back.

Anyone knows how I could remove the language bar and keep my quick launch bar?

[^_^]

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

;Deactivate Language Bar
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar]
"ShowStatus"=dword:00000003

is what I've been using

however, I didn't crosscheck your method of quick launch activation

[rikgale]

I think that I knocked my language bar on the head either when setting up my unatteded answer file or during my XP shrinking using nlite. Can't remeber which, sorry, but mite be worth a look at these two stages

I found the solution to my problem. Here it is if anyone else experience this.

1. Clean Install of Windows XP SP2

2. Set QuickLaunch Bar as I want it

3. Run those keys :

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

;Deactivate Language Bar
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar]
"ShowStatus"=dword:00000003

4. Reboot

5. Save this registry entry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]

It works fine now!
