I'm not aware of a way to do that. There are ways to turn off the often annoying notification balloons from the system tray (on the right), but I haven't seen anything about the ones you're referring to. Incidentally, if you're planning on moving to Windows 7 when it comes out, this probably won't be an issue for you because the taskbar is very different. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
