I am doing an unattended install of windows XP. I would like to have the default language and keyboard settings to be UK english. The problem I am having is that the US keyboard is still showing up which causes the keyboard icon to show up on the taskbar. I am trying all sorts of ways including some of the tips in the forum to just install english UK as suppose to having the US installed as well,

Any ideas on how to get rid of the US layout settings?

Have you tried the following registry tweak:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Remove second language (English)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] 
"2"=-

Managed to find the answer to it which was under the [unattended] section

add keyboard layout="United Kingdom" and you will end up with just the UK keyboard settings
