I had this nagging IME pad toolbar on my desktop which gets enabled at times and changes font to Japanese or Chinese which is real irritating. It looks like below



Follow the below procedure to remove/disable it. You need to follow the below procedure as a "Administrator" user.

Open "System Configuration Utility"
Start --> Run --> msconfig

Disable IME programs from Startup
Un-Check the IME programs from Start-up like below (IME programs circled in red).



From the next time you reboot, you should not see the IME pad. You can also disable other unnecessary programs from Start-up to speed up the boot time of your OS. Disable only programs only when you are sure what it is.
