keyboard-layout

I have English Windows 7 Professional with Hungarian keyboard language installed. The English keyboard layout works as expected, but for the Hungarian layout some kind of "accent combining" is activated.

The effect of this ^+o becomes ô, ^+a becomes â, etc.

This is not helpful at all, since the accented characters of Hungarian are already mapped to keys, but it's really annoying because I have to type a non-combining character to actually get ^.

Is there any way to turn this "feature" off?
