balloon be gone?

Anyone know if it's possible to prevent that annoying balloon from
popping up telling you which wireless network you are connected to when
using the Windows wireless configuration?

I've been combing the web looking for this same answer this last week.

I've been forced to follow time honored advice for dealing with pests:
ignore it and it will go away.

Doesn't have that anymore. That may have been pre-SP2. Now it says
"notify me when this connection is limited or no connectivity".

The only way to get rid of it is to disable showing the icon in the
systray, but I'd rather keep the icon...

That's something I have already tried. It did not work for me.

Sorry 'bout that. It works on my Gateway Essential 866. I'll Google some
more and see what I can come up with.

Download the TweakUI tool from:
<http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...67b-9ed9-45a6-
b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe>

Click on Taskbar in the lefthand pane, and uncheck 'Enable balloon
tips' on the right.

Hope this helps

I have a distinct feeling that'll do just about the same as the registry
hack mentioned before. It'll disable all the balloons, not just the ones
specific to the wireless service.
