I have the latest installed, all working fine, but the MSN "new content" pop-up (taskbar) is annoying - any way to disable that?

thx

I don't use MSN but maybe these will help you:
Remove Windows Live Today (MSN Messenger) Pop-up
[Live Messenger] Disable Windows Live Today Popup
Link Removed - Invalid URL

Messenger Tools.NET > News > Disable the MSN Today popup in MSN Messenger

Click to expand...

I sometimes hide my msn to the icon tray area, with the help of this great app I've been using since XP times:

TaskSwitchXP - NTWind Software



In 7, install and run it xp-compatible.

Thanks for help guys!

I see the pop-up got better flashing just once when signed-in.
I can take that but hope it will be optional in the next release.

That's quite strange - no problem here for me.
As a matter of fact, I think it's disabled by default in this build.
OMG Microsoft actually got something right for once!

you talk about version 2009? - lucky guy you are!
could very well be disabled by default as I never did uncheck it

however, the msn has new content alert nuisance continues!

meh!

No, I mean the 2010 beta build..
Is it like Windows Live Today, or like a "______ Has just signed in" kind of notification?
You can change those settings in Options>>Alerts.
