Remove CTFMON

I just switched over to Open Office and uninstalled everything Works and Word related. Now I wanted to stop ctfmon from auto starting also but no matter what its still there. I found this handle little download. Hope this helps out anyone else who is annoyed by this program.

CTFMon isn’t really related to Word/Works. It will also be placed in autostart, when you install IE7 for example. It’s related to extended text services.
To get rid of it without any additional software, goto
Control Panel → Regional and Language Settings, Languages tab, click Details, select Advanced tab and check “deactivate all extended text services”. This will disable CTFMon!

Here’s the official method: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282599

I have %windir%\system32\ctfmon.exe added to Interprocess memory access to All application policy

this way the number of alerts is dramatically reduced form early CFP versions

No. It doesn’t.

I supose if you remove ctfmon you can’t see foreign scripts or type in them am I correct ?
