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

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Put a router in between the modem and the PC. End of issue.

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.
