Re: Disable the "A network cable is unplugged" nag?

Unlike the party line, I don't want to have my high speed connection
on all the time so I've rigged a power switch to turn it off. The
reason I do this is because I've noticed that when I'm online, the
computer runs a lot warmer. I've run rootkit checks on the system,
but they all tell me it's clean.

Every time I turn off the cable modem, I get an annoying popup in the
tray that says:

"Local Area Connection
A network cable is unplugged."

where "Local Area Connection" is simply the name of my hi-speed
connection. I've unchecked the "Show icon in notification area when
connected" option in the properties dialog for this connection, yet
this VERY ANNOYING nag popup keeps rearing its ugly head every time I
turn off the cable modem.

And you can't press "Escape" or anything but the little "X" button on
the popup to make it go away. Granted, it does go away after a while,
but I'd still like to be able to make it not happen since it does
nothing for me (please don't try to tell my why I need it: I'm a big
boy and can make that decision for myself.)

I've also used TweakUI to disable Balloon Tips under "Taskbar and
Start menu". No good.

Any registry hack somebody can come up with will be greatly
appreciated.
TIA.

you have got to be kidding.
local area connection, properties, uncheck notify me limited or no
connectivity,
or open network connections and drag and drop the local area connection to
the desktop to create a shortcut, then just enable and disable it when you
want,
No need to turn off the modem.
