Running XP SP2

I would like to disable the warning about having Firewall switched off
or virus protection being out of date on a few machines at this
organisation. I keep track of things such as Virus version levels
through the management software that came with the anti-virus software
and some users are just plainly confused if they see spurious pop-up
messages

Does anyone know whether there's a registry setting to disable this
message, which pops up from the taskbar

Thanks

Peter
