This article describes how to hide the Language bar in seamless ICA sessions.

Note: This issue applies to Citrix Presentation Server 4.0. Presentation Server 4.5 has improved the Language bar behavior in seamless ICA sessions. It can now be minimized properly.

Prior to installing Hotfix Rollup Pack 2, the Language bar could be minimized and it cannot be restored once it is minimized. Installing Hotfix Rollup Pack 3 makes the Language bar visible at all times. It cannot be disabled or minimized.

Instructions

As a workaround, complete the following procedure:

Edit the usrlogn.cmd batch file and include the following lines:

@Echo Off
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF" /V "Disable Thread Input Manager" /T REG_DWORD /F /D 1
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar" /V ExtraIconsOnMinimized /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar" /V ShowStatus /T REG_DWORD /F /D 2
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CTF\MSUTB" /V ShowDeskBand /T REG_DWORD /F /D 1

To hide the Language bar in seamless ICA sessions, you need to edit the registry.

Caution! Refer to the Disclaimer at the end of this article before using Registry Editor.

Hide the Language bar if it is not needed, by modifying the registry and adding the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\wfshell\TWI
Name: LangBarDeminimizerFlags
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

Restart the system.
