tipband.dll file. TL;DR: attempt 2 is half way, but you need one more step, described here . Basically you need to rename or remove thefile.





Question





Screenshot of the toolbar I'm talking about: http://bran.name/dump/taskbar-toolbars.png

You can see here I have 2 toolbars active, a custom download/upload meter, and the Touch Keyboard toolbar.





Since I have a laptop with a fysical keyboard stuck to it, I will never be using the touch keyboard. I'm trying to disable it , with moderate success.





Attempt 1 — disable toolbar:

Right click taskbar

Click Toolbars

Uncheck 'Touch Keyboard'

It disappears, but will reappear again whenever I'm using the touch screen a lot and it's prompting me with a text input.





Attempt 2 — disable service:

Press Win + R, type 'services.msc', press Enter

Find 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service', and double tap/click it

Click Stop

Select 'disabled' at 'Startup type'

Click Ok, then reboot

This works at first, but when I put the device to sleep and turn it on again, it's back. This does not happen on a normal reboot.





Attempt 3 — disable all toolbars:

Press Win + R, type 'gpedit.msc', press Enter

Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar

Find 'Do not display any custom toolbars in the taskbar', and double tap/click it

Click Enabled

Click Ok, then reboot.

This disables all my toolbars, which is not what I want. I need my download/upload meter toolbar to stay. So neither of those fixed my problem. I kind of want attempt 2 to work, but without it reppearing after Sleep.





Any help is appreciated.
