Windows XP and Tweak UI - Hide Taskbar Notification Icons

SUMMARY: Keep Windows XP from filling up the Taskbar Notification area with attention-getting icons from the operating system.

Normally, Windows XP will show notification icons on the taskbar when it needs to get your attention for a variety of reasons, such as low disk space, too many icons on the desktop, etc. If you find these notifications annoying, however, you can hide them:

1. Download and run Tweak UI for Windows XP.
2. When the "Tweak UI" window appears, click "Taskbar and Start menu".
3. Uncheck "Show taskbar notification icons".
4. When done, click "OK" to close the dialog box.
