Answer» Good Day: Have not used the Forums for ages but the addition of a Toshiba Norebook [my wife's] has BROUGHT up questions. I will deal with only ONE,here. Her Notebook is on WindowsXP. It is Wireless, using a Router which is wired in to our Desktop computer which uses cable power source.. My question:- One bubble in the systray pops up "LAN Area connection. A Network cable is unplugged." As this icon seems to refer to the fact that there is no wired connection to the ISP, can this icon be safely disabled? . EdmundoR is this "bubble" on the desktop or laptop? and correct me if im wrong, but you have a [highlight]cable[/highlight] modem connected to a router built into your computer? is this an actual router or just simply a second NIC card? Quote which uses cable power source.. that kind of confused me.Yes that can be safely disabled. Double click on the icon; choose properties and then untag the last option.Alternatively you can also disable the Windows balloon tips all together by creating a file on your desktop CALL temp.reg and then editing it and pasting in the following: Code: [Select]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000 Save it, run it, and then delete the temp reg file you created. This should disable the annoying popups for that message and others like it.Att: Raptor, kilowat15 and Adviser Thanks Raptor. I disabled the bubble/balloon. Because I was new to the laptop, I hesitate to click anything suspicious! Kilowatt, Windows tips are sometimes useful but thanks for telling me how to disable them.
