Turn off New Mail Notification?
Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize:123865
Yet another new MS feature that doesn't have a readily apparent off button . . . I'm running Win XP , and while I have my Netscape e-mail window logged on, I keep getting a little pop-up from the notifications task bar when I get new e-mail. This is strange because: Netscape is set to NOT check for e-mail automatically, and the New Mail Notification is set to "always hide". So what program is taking the initiative to check for new e-mail on my server without asking? Jay |

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. This = small utility scans your system for startup programs and running = processes.

-----Original Message----- You may have some other problems/opportunities. Update your Anti Virus software and run a full system scan!!! Updated and run, no viruses. calc.exe Why was this running???? You may have a virus here!!!!!!!!!! Did you have the Calculator running on purpose??? Believe it or not, I actually use the calculator. Easier than using Excel everytime I want to multiply a couple of numbers. W32.HLLC.Happylow http://securityresponse.symantec.com....hllc.happylo= w.html =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= 3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Some of these items do not need to run at startup. Up to you. Any idea what this is??? C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\bin\ImaqBoot.exe This for LabVIEW - control systems software that I use at work. Same with all the other ni stuff. I don't know what niSvcLoc.exe is!! nipalsm.exe doesn't look good either and you have two of them running. Maybe my Norton Antivirus is popping up the window . . . it uses the same space to show me it's scanning outgoing messages. I think it would wait until I actually downloaded my e-mail before scanning it though, and I don't know why it would check for e-mail on my server for me.=20 So, still no answers. Jay |

Jay,
I use the Calculator also, but I close it when not in use. If you use Outlook Express for Mail, turn *off* the E-mail scanning. It does no extra good and may cause harm. As for your original question, I've no idea. ;-( -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , Jay hunted and pecked: -----Original Message----- You may have some other problems/opportunities.

Turn off New Mail Notification?
I searched the registry, I found this little nugget:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\AppEvents\EventLabels\MailBeep The data of which says "New Mail Notification", and there's another one under CURRENT_USER . . . So, I exported them and then deleted them from the registry. I think this is working, although the notification doesn't come up when you'd expect, so really I can only prove that the nofication is on, not off. I'll see if it pops up again today, otherwise, I'll assume I fixed it. Jay -----Original Message----- Jay, I use the Calculator also, but I close it when not in use.
