Guest Saudade Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Is there any way to turn off the status messages that flash in the lower right corner of the screen? (e.g., network cable unplugged, unused desktop icons, new hardware installed, etc.?) Thanks, s.

One of the best of these is called "TweakUI" - download and install it. Click on Taskbar and Start menu, then uncheck the Enable balloon tips setting. There's loads of other cool stuff in TweakUI.
