Start menu in Windows XP always says "New programs installed"

[Johnno]

I have a very minor problem with my Windows XP. The Start menu always says
"New programs installed", and I can't stop it. The program that it says is
"New" is "The SIMS". I always start "The SIMS" by clicking on the menu
item that Windows XP thinks is the "new program" i.e. it is highlighted
orange.

Previously, when Windows XP has said "New programs installed" I would just
start the "New" program by clicking on the orange item, and that would be
that. Windows XP would then stop telling me that a new program was
installed. But Windows XP continues to insist that "The SIMS" is a new
program, no matter how many times I run it from the start menu.

How can I tell Windows XP that this program is not new?

Cheers,
Johnno.

Do Not Highlight Newly Installed Programs
1. Click Start, right-click at the top of the Start menu where your name is
displayed, and then click Properties.
2. In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, on the Start Menu tab, click
Customize.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then clear the Highlight newly installed programs
check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK again.
