301455 2004-12-09 20:52:00 I am new to XP. How do I stop the annoying Window that comes up telling me I am connected to my ISP and at what speed?. I read how it can be done but cannot now find the reference after searching NZ PC World and Netguide mags. Pato (2463)
301456 2004-12-09 21:12:00 Do you mean the connection status window that can pop up just after you've connected? If so, try this: open network connections from the control panel, right-click on your ISP's connection and choose properties. Under the general tab, make sure that the 'show icon in notification area' box is ticked. That will send the connection notification to the system tray, instead of popping up on your desktop.

If you're talking about the yellow bubble that appears, I wouldn't worry. That's normal. No doubt theres a way of eliminating them, but I can't be too bothered. They don't hack me off enough.
