HELLBRINGER 0 Posted June 20, 2002 How do I turn off the stupid, annoying pop-up messages on the XP taskbar, such as the take a tour, or low disk space, etc... They are exceptionally annoying. Thanks Share this post Link to post
Admiral LSD 0 Posted June 20, 2002 I adopt an "ignore it and it'll go away" attitude myself, they usually do. Share this post Link to post
HELLBRINGER 0 Posted June 20, 2002 Well that is not very helpful, everyone can ignore it. I'm sure there is a way to eliminate them. Perhaps I will take some time to look. Thank you. Share this post Link to post
lumpy 0 Posted June 20, 2002 Powertoys Tweahui for WinXP will get rid of the low disk space one, I can get rid of the tour, but I can't remember exactly how, but, it could be right click on the icon and, IF I remember correctly, you can get rid of it there. Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted June 20, 2002 I'm not sure this is exactly what you want to get rid of but this is a registry hack (Microsoft approved) to rid you of some messages: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced Right-click the right pane, create a new DWORD value, and then name it EnableBalloonTips Double-click this new entry, and then give it a hexadecimal value of 0 Quit Registry Editor. Log off Windows, and then log back on. Share this post Link to post
Alien 1 Posted June 20, 2002 To get rid of the Windows Tour bubble, simply click it so that a window for the tour opens, then hit cancel in that window - sorted. Share this post Link to post
