Question

I can't remove redundant keyboard layouts

Anonymous

I have 2 extra English layouts that I need to remove, but they don't show up in the settings. I found some instructions that tell how to remove them using registry. I looked in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload as instructed, but there are no entries for those layouts.
