Windows X-f%cking-P

Okay. I got Win XP after dowloading loads of upgrades and buying a lot of new xp-compatible software. I got XP running. I'm only getting really nuts from all those balloon texts in the right bottom-corner!

I KNOW you'll hide the non-active icons, you already told me a hunderd times!
I don't care my connection is 512,0 kbs!

How do I get rid of them?! They're driving me totally crazy! http://www.efgforum.com/ubb/graemlins/urrr.gif (And I can't find anything if configscreen or help)

Thnx a helluva lot.

Try this

Right click My Network Places and choose Properties

Right click the connection and choose Properties

Uncheck the "Show in taskbar" check box.

Okaaay....

I have a Dutch version of XP so that makes it somewhat more difficult.
So where do I find this? I got something like it but the checks were already off.

(I use XP home)

If you want an English version you can always hunt around at...I'll shut up now :)

I don't know how to fix the problem from there, sorry.
