Typing in Arabic in Win XP

I’ve been wanting to type in Arabic in my windows programs for a few weeks, but I have been unable to figure out how to do it. This is mainly because I’ve been going about it in the wrong way. Now that I have it all figured out, I need make a record of it, so I can do it again after I forget and get a new computer.

A How to on writing in Arabic (or any language that uses an alternate alphabet) in all of your Microsoft programs.
Go to Control Panel
Select “Regional and Language Settings”
Click the “Languages” tab
Check the box next to the languages you desire in the “Supplemental Language Support” section.
Click “Details” in the “Text Services and Input Languages” section.
Select and add the languages you want to use.
I suggest clicking on the two options (”Language Bar” and “Key Settings”) and playing around with them for a little while to get everything the way that you want it.
Hit Apply.
