STUPID Office XP! How to stop ctfmon.exe from loading?!

[FreshPrince]

Ok, Office XP sux! After loading it, the language bar wants to load up by default everything IE or any office app loads :| That's no problem, it can be disabled...however, ctfmon.exe still exists and I can't get it to not load.

I can delete the entry in the registry, but everytime I load IE, outlook, or any office app, the stupid exe loads with it...wtf!

Is there anyway to run office or IE without ctfmon.exe loading?

searched M$ knowledgebase and it basically says no way! If anyone had info, plz share

thx!

No luck here either.
I even disabled it from onstalling the language and handwiting tools in the installation
and the F*cker still loads.

Clicky Clicky. Read the part about "Can I Remove the Ctfmon.exe File?"

I've been getting that at work... I simply go into the registyr and remove the dumb thing from the Run statement. That got rid of the error message but according to the MS article, it is better to disable it. Refer to the article linked above.
