When I am using the internet, I get interrupted by
microsoft's .net passport subscription. How can I stop
the pop-up of the .net passport since I already
subscribed?
 
User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService]

Create a new Binary value, or modify the existing value, called
"PassportBalloon" and set it according to the value data below.

Value Name: PassportBalloon
Data Type: REG_BINARY (Binary Value)
Value Data: "0a 00 00 00" = disabled

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect


Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.
Note: If the registry key is not there, you can simply create one by going
edit > new.

lot about computers, it would be nice if mircosoft would
stop the popups.
