Guest moonraker Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Hi, every time I boot up I have a balloon which tells me I have files waiting to be written to CD. Firstly. how do I remove the files waiting in the "files waiting to be written to CD" folder. (presumably this will stop the balloon appearing) Secondly, at boot up we also have several balloons appear one after another telling us that the wireless network is connected etc How do I stop them appearing. Many thanks Steve

Guest RajKohli Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 RE: files waiting to be written to CD For the first problem, when the Balloon appears for "Files waiting to be written to CD", instead of closing the balloon click inside the balloon which will lead you to your CD/DVD writer drive. Here you will see all the files waiting to be written with a down arrow on them. Select the files and delete them. Mean while, you can also do this by opening My Computer and your CD/DVD Drive. For the second one, follow this: 1. Start - Run - type REGEDIT and press Enter key. 2. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced 3. Create a new DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips. 4. Give it a decimal value of 0 (zero) 5. Click OK. 6. Close regedit. May require you to restart your PC. The easiest way to do this is GPEDIT, if you have Windows XP Professional: An easier way is: 1. Click Start - Run - type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter. 2. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu & Taskbar 3. Double-click Remove Balloon Tips on Start Menu Items and select Enabled. Close the GPEDIT. Hope this help, let us know!

Guest Kelly Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: files waiting to be written to CD Default storage is here: Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning If you are using TweakUI, go to My Computer/Special Folders see what is set for CD Burning. Make sure it is set to a folder and not a drive. When the balloon appears: There are two commands to the left of the displayed files. One is Copy to CD and the other is Delete Temporary Files. If you click Delete Temporary Files, the files listed in the box will disappear. This will not erase the files from your hard drive, it simply removes them from being copied to the CD. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "moonraker" <stephen.emeryremovethis@microstarsoftware.com> wrote in message news:OCe2frHAIHA.4568@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi, every time I boot up I have a balloon which tells me I have files > waiting to be written to CD. > > Firstly. how do I remove the files waiting in the "files waiting to be > written to CD" folder. > > (presumably this will stop the balloon appearing) > > Secondly, at boot up we also have several balloons appear one after > another > telling us that the wireless network is connected etc > > How do I stop them appearing. > > Many thanks > > Steve > >
Guest moonraker Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: files waiting to be written to CD Hi Bob I I have tried every way I know to find your reply to my first message, but I simply cannot find it!! The two messages are in my "sent items" folder, (I sent the second message because I could not find it on the forum when I looked for a reply) I have configured the newsgroup in OE to arrange the messages by "sender" (i.e. moonraker), and then by date, but can find only one message on CD's waiting.............., and one entitled "test", (which I posted some weeks ago) I have searched in OE for all messages by "moonraker", and again there is the two sent items on the subject, but only one in windowsxp.general. I cannot see my first post on the subject anywhere!!!!! (perhaps we need Mulder and Scully). Anyhow, unless you can answer where the missing file is, could I trouble you to post your reply on this thread. Many thanks Steve.

Guest Bob I Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Re: files waiting to be written to CD There were several replies. Pretty much to the effect of Deleting the temporary files. R-click the drive Icon, Pick Delete temporary files. Or Open the drive, click File, Click delete temporary files. moonraker wrote: > Hi Bob I > > I have tried every way I know to find your reply to my first message, but I > simply cannot find it!! > > The two messages are in my "sent items" folder, (I sent the second message > because I could not find it on the forum when I looked for a reply) > > I have configured the newsgroup in OE to arrange the messages by "sender" > (i.e. moonraker), and then by date, but can find only one message on CD's > waiting.............., and one entitled "test", (which I posted some weeks > ago) > > I have searched in OE for all messages by "moonraker", and again there is > the two sent items on the subject, but only one in windowsxp.general. > > I cannot see my first post on the subject anywhere!!!!!
