Remove the Language Bar

You know that little thing near the clock, the one with the question mark in the yellow circle? That's called the "Language Bar". Even if you take the toolbar off the taskbar, it will come back everytime you start an Office application, you need to do this to not see that little nag called the "Language Bar" again:

1. Click"Start", then "Control Panel"
2. Hit "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options", then "Regional and Language Options" 
3. Press "Languages" tab, then "Details" button
4. Choose "Langage Bar" button at bottom, and then uncheck "Show the language bar on the desktop"
5. Press "OK" and the Language Bar will be gone :D

Note: You can always just recheck to enable it again

If you really want it gone so you can't ever see it again:

1. Go to "Start", then "Run"
2. Type "Regsvr32.exe /u msutb.dll" and press enter
3. The Language bar will never bother you again! <_<


Note: The "Language Bar" button described above will be grayed-out (unaccessible) for good as well, meaning you can never renable it.
