I don’t know how many computers I’ve seen where there’s a little application sitting in the toolbars that I’m always surprised to see. Perhaps the more surprising aspect of the thing now is that I’m still surprised when I see it. What is this application I keep seeing? The Windows Language Bar!
Every time I see the toolbar active on someone’s system I ask myself, “Are you really using this?”. I haven’t met anyone yet that actually does use it, but I always see it. That leaves me to ask the question of why? Why is it still active. Why was it activated in the beginning in the first place?
Let’s take care of getting rid of it using the instructions below.
- Right-click on a blank space in your toolbar and a submenu displays
- Go to “Toolbars”
- Deselect the Language Bar
Ta da! You’re done! So easy, now you don’t have to waste any time or screen real-estate to looking at something you don’t even use.
