Disable “Advance Text Services” via the Windows registry

by musashi on Jun.25, 2009, under I.T.

The following vbs code will disable Advanced Text Services:

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.RegWrite _
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\Disable Thread Input Manager", "1", "REG_DWORD"
objShell.RegWrite _
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\Langbar\ExtraIconsOnMinimized", "0", "REG_DWORD"
objShell.RegWrite _
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\Langbar\ShowStatus", "2", "REG_DWORD"
objShell.RegWrite _
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\MSUTB\ShowDeskBand", "1", "REG_DWORD"

If you would like to uninstall this service completely (and prevent ctfmon.exe from running) then see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
