For disabling Windows lang layout key binging I use such .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
; The value 1 specifies that LEFT ALT+SHIFT switches locales.
; The value 2 specifies CTRL+SHIFT.
; 3 disables the key sequence altogether.
; I decide use AutoHotkey to switch locales.
;
; These customisations have affect at least after logout/login.
"Hotkey"="3"
"Language Hotkey"="3"
"Layout Hotkey"="3"

In Emacs I switch to Russian by C-\. In other apps I use
AutoHotkey script:


; For lang codes see ("Locale identifier" column):
;   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294(VS.85).aspx
; You must dublicate code.
#1:: SendMessage, 0x50,, 0x04090409,, A ; английский
#2:: SendMessage, 0x50,, 0x04190419,, A ; русский
#3:: SendMessage, 0x50,, 0x04220422,, A ; украинский

~LWin UP:: return

; Local Variables:
; coding: windows-1251-dos
; comment-start: "; "
; End:


which I wrote because Emacs key binding conflict with Windows ((.
And Windows don't allow any other key binding for switching
lang layout rather than Alt+Shift/Ctrl+Shift.

No I type left Win key + 1 to switch to EN lang,
lWin + 2 to RU lang, etc...
