VenKat and Harriet,
When IE 7 installed on my PC the language bar has a text box with a question 
mark in it and what looks like two text boxes overlaying each other on the 
right side of the task bar righ next to the system tray.
If you right click on any open area of the task bar you get a drop down menu 
with Toolbars as an option that has it's own drop down list and Language bar 
is one of the options.
I have no problem with it, except that it takes up additional space.  My 
question is when and for what is the language toolbar used?
Dave
