Wireless Networking balloons

[Ken B]

Is there a way I can get the balloons that say "Wireless Connection is not
connected" to go away, without disabling the wireless network adapter?

I can't see anything on it. But a group policy would be stellar!

This article states how to do it, but it is through a registry setting. You
could easily put this in a GPO though.

Hi Ken,

Yes.

Or use this automated edit:

Disable All includes: Balloon Tips, Folder Contents Info Tips, Explorer
Pop-Ups, Show Info Tips, Start Menu and Notification Area.

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

That's the thing--I don't want to disable all of them, just this one
annoying one that says that there isn't a wireless connection. It shouldn't
really matter when it's plugged into the lan, no?

Hi

Control Panel --> Network Connections.

Locate your wireless connection, right click on it, and select
Properties.

Unselect "Notify me when this connection has limited or no
connectivity".

Hi Torgeir-

Tried un-checking that already--it still tells me the "Wireless Connection
is not connected"

Weird, huh?
