Have you ever asked yourself....what the hell is it or...... have you removed it only to find it's back again.....
It is a relatively easy removal and it will stay gone, just follow these steps.
FYI - This pesky little program is related to speech recognition in MS Office.
- Just open up Add/Remove programs from Control panel.
- locate MS Office and click on Change
- Click on Add/Remove features (and check mark "advanced customizations of features")
- Expand Excel tab
- Click on "text to speech" and select "Not Available"
- Expand "Office Shared Features"
- Click on "Alternative User Input" and select "Not Available" (this should remove both Speech and Handwriting)
- Expand "Proofing Tools" under "Office Shared Features" and select under both French and Spanish "English - (French/Spanish) Translation "Not Available"
- and then click on "Update"
When Update is complete
- Click on Start-Run and type in "regsvr32 /u msctf.dll" (without quotes) and hit ok/enter
- and again - Click on Start-Run and type in regedit32.exe and hit ok/enter. [I used regedit.exe...not regedit32, and it worked fine.]
When the program is open, search for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run\
Once located - right click on cftmon.exe and delete entry.
you will have to repeat these steps for each user on the computer.
