    Gangsta Yoda says to put a cap in Windows XP.

    Display Properties > Customize Desktop > Desktop Items > General tab > uncheck Run desktop cleanup wizard every 60 days.

    Thanks... I was expecting some windows registry changes, that's why it did not even cross my mind to check the settings in windows...

    Thanks again...
