How To Hide The Language Bar In Seamless ICA Sessions

Wednesday, 23 May 2007 by Michel Roth

I sometimes get the idea that there is a very evil man somewhere in a dark forgotten dungeon in Redmond. This man's sole goal in life is to make sure that the Language Bar shows up whenever you don't want it to show up and even better, to make it a inhumane task to remove it. Once he has accomplished this he will be released from his dungeon and go for world domination mhuhahaha....

OK, sorry, I went a little overboard. Some of it is true though. I sometimes get really annoyed with the language bar and I want it too go away. Forever. Period. Well, apparently I'm not alone. Citrix has a support article up to remove the language bar from seamless ICA sessions.

"Prior to installing Hotfix Rollup Pack 2, the Language bar can be minimized. It cannot be restored once it is minimized. Installing Hotfix Rollup Pack 3 makes the Language bar visible at all times. You cannot disable or minimize it. Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 has improved the Language bar behavior in seamless ICA sessions. It can now be minimized properly."
