Disabling Language bar on Windows XP startup

Just a random tip.
For some reasons Windows XP always start with language bar on the taskbar, this could be annoying (for me and some people). Here is the way to prevent that, and it's pretty simple too

First, open Control Panel


Then open "Regional and Language Options"
 

In Regional and Language Options, click on "Languages" tab, then click "Details..."
 

Next, click "Language bar..." button

Uncheck the first box, all other boxes should be deactivated, then click OK

And we are done, the annoying language bar shouldn't show up the next time you start XP. 
Many people should have known this already, I just want to keep the tip on my blog just in case I forget it. 
You are welcome though, if you find this to be useful.
