Right now, I'm still using the one that came with XP.  Word is it does a
good job of blocking incoming, but won't warn you about outgoing--if
some rogue program is trying to phone home.  I keep reading that the
freeware version of Zone Alarm is a good bet.

        Ted, I just learned something.
         
        I did not know that it would tell me that and it does I was just
not sure what it was.
         
        Can I ask what fire wall you use?

                My system has a message every time I boot up such as
this.  What I was told is happening is the message is up because the
firewall or whatever component it is speaking of is loading up.  So the
firewall is indeed on but the system can't keep up.  then as soon as it
finishes loading the balloon goes away. It is annoying but I don't think
there is anything you can do about it.

                        Turning off all help balloons would probably be
overkill, but I can tell you one I'd love to address.  Are there any
other XP users bothered by constant reminders that your firewall is
turned off?  I can verify that my firewall is on.  I'm told to click the
balloon to fix this problem--lotsa luck.  By the time JFW reads it, the
balloon has disappeared, or is about to.  You'd have to have the fastest
mouse in the west to click this thing,while the clicking's good--and
that presumes you know where to find it.  How can I convince this fool
system that its firewall is indeed on?
                         
                        If you wish, you can reply off list to
tlisle@xxxxxxxx, as I realize this one is marginal, at best.

                                Hello Dave,

                                 

                                If it's not asking too much, Can I get
that file too?

                                If so, here is my address.

                                If they still pop up, contact me off
list and I will send you a file that will turn off help balloons in the
registry.

                                Hi Stacey,

                                If I have my facts in order here is the
solution.

                                 

                                1. Go into control panel.

                                 

                                2. Hit F to find folder options and hit
enter.

                                 

                                3. Go to the view tab.

                                 

                                4. Tab down until you are in a tree
view. On my system it is 2 times.

                                 

                                5. Go to the last item which should be
"show pop up description for folder and desktop items" and make sure it
is set to off.

                                 

                                6. Hit enter on apply and then on ok.

                                 

                                HTH
