How do you stop French accents on a Windows 7 computer and I mean permanently as I know exactly how to shut them down temporarily by pressing Control Shift 3-4 times for 3-4 seconds each time?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you mean by stopping French accents, or why you would want to do this.

A whole lot of accented characters can be displayed your computer (see the list below), plus other alphabets (Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese etc.).

But you only see them if someone puts them in a document or internet page you are looking at. For example if a type "café" or "hôtel".

If accented characters are already in an Internet page, what would you want your computer to display instead? "e" and "é" are 2 different characters in your computer.
