105137 2002-12-11 11:10:00 I am using WinXP.

I want to get rid of the little balloon that pops up each time when you get connected to your ISP.

I dont know how to get rid of it. When i uncheck the tickbox in Network connection properties to hide the notification of being connected, it also takes away the icon that sits in the system tray.

I want the icon in the system tray, and just get rid of the stupid pop up balloon.
Can someone let me know me know how to do this. Thankxxx

Pluto :)

105138 2002-12-11 18:45:00 You can disable Balloon Tips via the registry

that's start>run then type regedit and enter-
then goto-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> Advanced
and add a new entry "EnableBalloonTips" (without the "s) with the DWORD value of 0
