notification bubbles?

**robiewp** · 06-21-2004, 03:19 PM

i'm sure this has been discussed before, so ahead of time i'll appologize for the likely repost- i wasn't able to find anything in searches.

I'm tired of having notification bubbles appear over the task bar. They appear for any number of things- wireless connectiong established, lost- device connected, disconected. I don't want to ever see any of them ever again

Is there some way to shut 'em off?

uhh.... Think the image resizer will do it?

I have tweak UI on the car comp (necesitated by automatic logon). Want to point me something more specific?

I'll try the registry thing. thanks dodge.

Very easy tutorial with a couple of different solutions.

I think it might be able to be done thru GPEDIT.MSC too.
Nevermind, it can't just the notification area cleanup, and the notification can be removed. Nothing else.

you guys are so awesome. i HATE those things. i'll give this registry setting a try!

Registry setting does work, but im not sure if it just "hides" the nofification bubbles. I say this because I run magnifier where the start bar was and when the start bar is inactive (autohide) the magnifier would show but, upon start up I still get a delay before the start bar auto hides, the PC is finished loading. I think its because of the XP SP2 RC2 notification bubble saying my computer is insecure, and it just being hidden.
