Guest JohnF Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 When accessing my Start button, I am always met with the "New Programs Loaded" box despite the fact that I have not put new programs on the machine. Anyone got an idea of how to sort this. The machine is working fine. -- John
Guest Curt Christianson Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: start bar always show "New Programs Loaded" Hi John, You're right; it can be annoying. Here's how to get rid of it. Right-click the Taskbar>Properties>Start Menu tab>Click Customize button>Advanced tab, and under "start menu settings" *un-check* "Highlight newly installed programs. OK your way out, and you should be set. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "JohnF" <JohnF@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:71A02167-D585-43D8-88F9-0E44F740517E@microsoft.com... | When accessing my Start button, I am always met with the "New Programs | Loaded" box despite the fact that I have not put new programs on the machine. | Anyone got an idea of how to sort this.

Guest Curt Christianson Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: start bar always show "New Programs Loaded" John, An afterthought... I'm wondering if you apply the setting I suggested, and then *re-enable* the pop-up, maybe it would behave as it should. Just a thought. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "JohnF" <JohnF@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:71A02167-D585-43D8-88F9-0E44F740517E@microsoft.com... | When accessing my Start button, I am always met with the "New Programs | Loaded" box despite the fact that I have not put new programs on the machine. | Anyone got an idea of how to sort this.

Guest Unknown Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Re: start bar always show "New Programs Loaded" If you just let it be, the newly installed program will no longer be newly installed and the indication will disappear.
