Is anyone very savvy with Windows? I recently installed a Nintendo Wi-Fi adapter and every few seconds a bubble pops up telling me that a user is accessing it (I know it's the Wii not some third party). Does anyone know how I can disable this bubble from popping up all the time?

If I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like you have a wi-fi icon in your system tray (the grouping of icons to the left of the clock) that you want to disable.

There's a way (in XP anyway) to hide a single tray icon, and I'd assume that would stop the pop up messages, too.

Right click on the taskbar, goto "Properties". Click "Customize..." in the bottom right corner. A list should pop up; select whichever icon icon is causing the problem and pick "Always Hide."

That might do it.

JTK!
I'm going to hijack MEC's thread for a second to wave hi, say "how's it going? - how is college?" and ask if you have Facebook (since you never e-mail any more).

Now -- back to MEC. Hope what jtk suggested worked for you. If not, give us more detail, please.

Thanks, I think this fixed the problem.

[Wave] Yo!

College is great - second year. I'm studying biomed engineering up at RPI. I'm not on Facebook or Myspace, though - I have Hatrack [Smile]

So I'm well, how are you all?
