Heyho, so I couldn't think of a better place to post this. I'm running Windows 8, and I can't get rid of the US Keyboard. This is what my language bar looks like:

[image loading]

As you can see, there's the US keyboard option at the bottom. And I can cycle to it and activate it, which is annoying. Here's a ss of my language settings:

No trace of the US keyboard. What do I do

Add English US via "add a language". Then you're able to remove it, and it will be removed from the language bar as well.

The problem though is, it will most likely reappear again, since some program is doing this (I read that i.e. the SDL lib is responsible for it, though never tested it).
And you have to do the adding & removing every single time.

So if it does happen again (wait for it!) you can mess around with the registry (typical "if you mess around with the registry you can fuck your system" warning).
Rename
HLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000409
to something like
HLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000409a
And it wont happen again.

Thanks Zocat, worked well Hopefully it won't reappear and I won't have to play with the registry (not that I'm terrified of the registry)
