    Hi ,

    Click your Start Button, type services and hit Enter

    Find the 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting panel service'

    Double click that, set its Startup type to disabled and stop the service

    That should permanently stop ctfmon . . .

    Hi Paks2Dm

    Do you not use the Language bar?

    If not:

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Click on the Startup Tab

    See if ctfmon listed there

    If so, select and click 'Disable'

    Close Task Manager

    Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

    When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

    Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

    In the remaining list, see if ctfmon listed there , uncheck if you find it

    Click Apply and OK

    Restart your System and this annoyance will be gone . . .

    This had no effect since ctfmon.exe was not listed in either.

    It only shows up in taskmanager under Background processes
