can system tray alert windows be turned off?

[bradshank]

howdy all,

i'm sick of xp's wireless status constantly reminding me (via alert windows) of the signals in the area. if i lived in africa, this might not matter, but i live in PDX, and we have signals everywhere.

i also use flashgot, and i don't want the "finished" alert from it either.

i know i can remove the flashgot icon from the tray, but i can't seem to keep the wifi icon off.

help?

thanks

b
