    Hey,

    Is there a way to turn off thoes anoying pop up yellow balloons that pop up every 10 seconds (seems like it) on the bottom right corner, 'conected to wireless network, unable to connect to LAN, windows update is ready to install'. I have this information simply looking at the icons down there without the need for an anoying balloon that I then have to close.

    Thanks

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> CurrentVersion --> Explorer --> Advanced

    Create a new DWORD value, title it "EnableBalloonTips" and set the value to 0, which is the default.
