                        I know I was really bugged by Windows XP when it would 

                        highlight any new program I installed. I already knew 

                        that I installed it so why should it tell me. Not to 

                        mention the fact that it would tell me a program that I 

                        have already run is new.

                        Any way... to get rid of this alert is really easy:

                        1. Right click the start bar and click properties.

                        2. Go to the start menu tab and click customise.

                        3. Click on the advanced tab

                        4. Deselect "Highlight newlie installed programs"



                        Windows XP has moved everything around and there are so 

                        many new features that this was a tough one to find. By 

                        the way, this is only applicable if you have the new XP 

                        start menu not if you are using classic
