Remove Handwriting Recognition
Handwriting Recognition should be removed if it isn’t being used.
Handwriting Recognition is a text service that ships with Windows XP that allows you to use an input device, such as a digital pen and tablet, to enter text by writing it on the tablet rather than typing it in. Other devices include mouse pads you can write on or tablet PCs. If you aren’t using any handwriting devices, you should remove this option.
To remove Handwriting Recognition:
1. Click Start | Control Panel | Regional And Language Options.
(If you’re in Category view, you’ll need to select Date, Time,
Language, And Regional Options first.)
2. On the Languages tab, under Text Services And Input Languages,
click Details. Clicking Details opens the Text Services And Input
Languages dialog box.
3. Under Installed Services, select Handwriting Recognition for each
language for which it is not needed (you may only have one
language configured), and click Remove.(If you
don’t have any option to remove Handwriting Recognition, you
never installed it.)
