How to kill CTFMON.EXE process!

SiriusB · 3 Jun 2006 at 21:35

As title really!

I have nuked its entry in the registry but it just comes back after I have rebooted! :confused:

Is there somewhere else I should be looking? It not life or death but I don't like random processes running on my system when they are neither wanted nor needed.

Any help would be great.

EDIT: Okay I found the solution at MSs website. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=282599 if anyone else wants this pesky process to do one.

Tried that. Several times - just came back after I rebooted.

What does this actually mean?

Surely if you got rid of it the keyboard wouldnt work?

Followed the steps and my keyboard seems to work just fine :|

Yeah, it comes with Office so its not like its a vital Windows component. It may work with the keyboard but it is not responsible for the keyboard working.
