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

I adopt an "ignore it and it'll go away" attitude myself, they usually do.

[HELLBRINGER]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Open My Computer

Tools / Folder Options
Click the View Tab
Remove check next to "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items"

I don't think those are the ones he means, that's tooltips, etc - he's on about the things like the bubble you get that tells you your HDD/partition is full, or telling you to take the windows tour.

Xteq X-Setup can disable these things...

Awesome thank you. I got it thanks to you guys.

Thanks!
