What is CTFMON.EXE? and how to disable


If you have opened the Windows Task Manager or used Hijackthis to track down a problem, you have probably run across a file called CTFMON.EXE. Disabling it from MSCONFIG doesn't make it go away and it definitely feels like a virus, so what exactly is this file?

It turns out that CTFMON.EXE is a file that is installed with Office XP applications. It activates the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor and the Language Bar.

How to Disable the Language Bar and Remove CTFMON.EXE

1) Open the Control Panel
2) Double-click on Regional and Language Options (if you are in Classic View)
Regional and Language or Double-click on Date, Time, Language, and Regional
Options in Category View
3) Click on the Languages tab, then click on Details
4) Click on the Advanced Tab
5) Finally, place a checkmark in the box "Turn off advanced text services"
and Click Ok
