Windows 2000/XP system tray bubble auto fade-away

Tatsh · 12th January 2007, 03:33

Is there any application or registry hack or something to make the stupid pop-ups fade away automatically after say 5 seconds? It's annoying to have to hit close on every one that pops up; this is every time I disconnect my wireless, reconnect, everytime it searches and does not connect, every time I plug in a device or unplug, install drivers, and when I connect and disconnect my ethernet cable. VERY annoying. These are helpful and great instead of OK-dialog windows but why should they stay on forever? GRRR

Hi. You can go to the system services administrative area from the control panel, search for the popup service and disable it.
