I’m sorry for asking UI question here. I hope more developers had similar
problem and somebody found how to avoid it…
I’d like to start working on XP RTM but is always annoys me with “smart”
pop-up messages in right bottom corner which inform me that some my drive is
almost full, that I don’t use some desktop icons and similar nonsense. I’m
not interested and want to turn it off. The worst thing is that I have to
take mouse to close the stupid box and “not enough space” one is displayed
periodically (please don’t tell me I should free some space; it is drive
with w9x and there is no problem).
I’d like to completely disable this “feature”. No pop-up boxes at all. I
tried standard solutions (NT/w2k way how to set disk space threshold and
disable autorun programs) but no success, it seems to be builtin in the
exploder. Hopefully I missed something obvious and there is an easy way.
Thanks.

Never mind, I found it in the meantime. In taskbar properties there is a
Customize (or similar) button which displays list of already used messages
and they can be disabled individually. I’m almost sure they wasn’t there
when I examined it short after installation (probably because they weren’t
used yet). I would prefer to completely disable it but it is better than
nothing… How nice new UI

BTW - do you know how to disable Autorun on CD-ROMs in w2k?
I have tried this by editing the CdRom’s service key in the registry - this have broken the Removable Storage Manager.
I rolled back the update - nevertheless, the RSM is still ill and spits a popup on “Unsafe Removal Of Device” on my CD drive each
time the machine awakens from hibernate.
The event log contains messages from RSM who detected PnP removal and then PnP arrival of the CD drive. Extremely strange.
I have uninstalled the CD-ROM’s PnP devnode in Device Manager (am I right this will clean the Enum registry?) and restored it by
asking the re-enumeration - RSM still spits the same error.
Or maybe there is some way of disabling RSM on CDs at all?
