    Hi Guys,
    I have an annoying (albeit fairly trivial) problem.
    A coupla PCs I've worked on come up with a blue box with a white "EN" in it in the start up tool bar.

    I know that it is a keyboard icon, but can NOT seem to get rid of it.

    I have cleared all unnecessary stuff out of 'msconfig' but it still wants to be there.

    Anyone got any ideas??

    Thanks
    Dennis

    Maybe Control Panel\Keyboard, click on Language. If more than one language is installed by Windows, you will see a checkbox for Enable Indicator on Taskbar.
    If any other language support is installed for IE, they will have to be removed through Add/Remove Programs to stop it.

    Thanks Mark...

    ...I have tried that, but every PC has come up with only ONE language.
    As an experiment, I put an extra language on my PC and got the dreaded "Blue Icon ", but when I removed the other language the icon vanished - as it should.

    Maybe it is an App, possibly MS Office or other that is causing it????

    My second line referred to Internet Explorer having foreign language support installed rather than windows, just not sure if you caught that. These would have been installed by IE setup, so going through Control Panel\Keyboard would not have an affect, but Control Panel\Add Remove would.
    Perhaps the uninstall is hidden. Regcleaner has the ability to show hidden uninstall registry entries, and run them.

    Thanks again Mark - will give that a try.

    As I said, it's not a devastating problem, just an annoyance.
