Ever since I reinstalled Mac OS 9 (and upgraded to 9.1) I have had a keyboard layout menu, with an American flag as its icon, between the clock and the applications menu. It will let me switch my keyboard to one of four Slavic layouts. This feature is completely useless, and I would like to disable the menu. Suggestions?

Open the Keyboard control panel, and choose your correct keyboard layout

Just make sure only one keyboard is checked - if more than one is checked the menu will appear. Otherwise it won't.

Nope, sorry - tried that already. The "US" layout is checked and grayed out. The others are all unchecked, and I still have the menu.

You have to check the one you want before you can uncheck the US keyboard.
I am also on 9.1 and this works just fine for me.

worse comes to worse, you may want to re-install the OS and upgrade to 9.1 again.

In the keyboard control panel, there is a pull-down menu, where you choose between scripts. If 'Roman' is chosen, you can select and deselect keyboard layouts in roman-script-based languages such as English, German etc. Use the pull-down menu in the control panel to switch to another script (in your case probably called 'Cyrillic') and deselect the Slavic keyboards that show up below.
Hope this helps,

Ooops, I think I was a little too hasty above. The method I explained will let you deselect all but one keyboard layout per script, which doesn't really solve your problem. The solution is to start up withour extensions. Open the system suitcase and remove scripts that you don't want. Foreign scripts may have garbled-looking names, since the finder cannot show more than one font at a time :-(
(I hope this is something they have fixed in OSX, because it is really annoying if you use several different (non-English) languages)
Anyway, the scripts are the ones that look like plain sheets of paper with a globe on them. Remove the scripts from the system suitcase (I don't think the Roman script will show up there, but you don't want to remove that anyway), restart and the menu should be gone. That worked for me.

If you have Unicode and WorldText installed you will have the keyboard layout menu. The only way to get rid of it is to get rid of the unicode enabled System suitcase.
