Removing MSN 7 flashing messages

[Groove]

I was wondering if there's a way to stop an MSN message from flashing
down below in the toolbar. The window can still pop up, but I was
wondering if there's a way to stop the flashing.

Thanks,
Groove

This is a side effect of the setting to not allow applications to steal the focus. This setting (how many times it flashes) can be set via TweakUI.

TweakUI is available from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/downloads/powertoys.asp (Pre SP1 systems)

Thanks Doug, that worked.
