Language Bar Be Gone!!

I don't think I am the only one that has been plagued by that blasted Windows language bar reappearing every time I reboot and wasting my already limited task bar real estate. It seems like this problem showed up with Service Pack 2 or an automatic update sometime later. I am all about being accommodating to those whose first language isn't English and showing the Language bar by default after installing Windows. However, if I manually go to the task bar properties and de-select the Language bar, why does Windows assume I've had a change of heart and want to welcome it back with open arms when I restart my system? I finally cracked and called on the Google S.W.A.T. Team for help rooting it out for good. Here is the effective treatment for XP's short term memory loss (you will need to do this once for each user, logged in to their account):

• Go to Start->Control Panel and open Regional and Language Options. (If you are using Category View for the control panel, you can find this under Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options)
  
• Click on the Languages tab, then click Details
• Under the Settings tab click Language Bar
• Un-check "Show the Language bar on the Desktop"
• Click OK on all the open boxes.
• Go grab a Tall Raspberry Crème Frappuccino at Starbucks to celebrate your newfound freedom (or a Venti sized if your significant other accompanies you).
