Is there any way to SHUT OFF the balloons that pop up in the tray on
the lower right in XP Home?

For 1/2 the day I'm told "your network is connected," or "there are
updates for you" or "you are in danger" yada yada and more yada.

how to shut them off?

Thank You,

Get tweakui and you can use it to disable balloon messages...

I wouldn't mind baloons if they'd just go away in 3 or 4 hours!
