Notification bubbles - can they be disabled?

It's not that I mind so much, but I like my taskbar autohide, and whenever a notification appears in the system tray, it appears the taskbar which obscures something I'm looking on the bottom of the screen.  Is there a way to disable these notifications pop up?

Thank you.

Hello Balt221,

Is there a way to completely disable notifications from popping up.

  • Yoga 3: Lenovo utility needed, or can they be disabled?

    Greetings, all!

    After the recent debacle of lmcfrundll (see this thread elsewhere on this forum), I decided to disable all Lenovo Utilities/apps via the start menu via msconfig. Thereby the lmcfrundll error messages disappear and did not affect performance as far as I can tell. I work mainly in 2013 office and not much else making machine yet.

    I was wondering: is there a liability to the deactivation of these utilities? Nothing I can see, but others may better know.

    See you soon!

  • Even if some plugins show 'disabled' on the list of the Add-ons Manager, can they be removed completely from the list?

    After downloading RealPlayer to view a particular item, I decided that I didn't want RealPlayer after all. 5 plugins associated with the download are listed in the Add-ons Manager and I managed to disable all the. But there is no apparent ease to remove them from my browser. Can they actually be deleted completely from my system?

    You must activate the plugins on the tools > Modules > page of Plugins to make them appear on the topic: plugins page.

  • Backup/restore DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - can they be backed up and restored without re-entering manually after DRS disabled?

    DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - these are lost when the DRS is off - they can be "listed" via perl or script Toolkit VI to return to manual if necessary.

    But can they be backed up / restored through automated methods for easy recovery in case required or accidental deactivation of the DRS? What happens if a user of vCenter turns off instead of the manual setting during operations?

    I have over 100 + VM DRS affinity/anti-affinity rules to maintain.

    There are indeed several DRS rules related cmdlets in the VITK 1.5.

    The following script will save all rules in a .txt file.

    $outfile = "C:\rules.txt"
    Remove-Item $outfile
    $clusterName = 
    $rules = get-cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-DrsRule
    
    foreach($rule in $rules){
      $line = (Get-View -Id $rule.ClusterId).Name
      $line += ("," + $rule.Name + "," + $rule.Enabled + "," + $rule.KeepTogether)
      foreach($vmId in $rule.VMIds){
        $line += ("," + (Get-View -Id $vmId).Name)
      }
      $line | Out-File -Append $outfile
    }
    

    The reason why we are writing the rules in a .txt file is because the type of 'Solidarity' with the rules can have 2 or more guests defined.

    This type of info (variable length table) is impossible to export to a. CSV file.

    The 2nd script reads this external file and sets the rules.

    $file = "C:\rules.txt"
    $rules = Get-Content $file
    
    foreach($rule in $rules){
      $ruleArr = $rule.Split(",")
      if($ruleArr[2] -eq "True"){$rEnabled = $true} else {$rEnabled = $false}
      if($ruleArr[3] -eq "True"){$rTogether = $true} else {$rTogether = $false}
      get-cluster $ruleArr[0] | `
        New-DrsRule -Name $ruleArr[1] -Enabled $rEnabled -KeepTogether $rTogether -VM (Get-VM -Name ($ruleArr[http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)|http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)]))
    }
    

    [The trick used for guests, it's that we select the part of a table with the \[a... scoring b\].

    Currently, you will need to run the first script for each cluster separately, but this could be easily adapted to run on all clusters in your VI.

  • How can I enable disable Activity Manager?

    How can I enable disable Activity Manager?

    General information:
    The activity Manager records all interactions between Thunderbird and your e-mail in one place provider. There is no guesswork more. Just look in one place to see what's going on with your email.
    Activity Manager allows you to follow more closely what is happening in the system and what activities are currently performed (for example, synchronization of folders offline IMAP, download new POP messages). The info in the status bar may appear and disappear quickly sometimes before able to read, but the info is displayed in the Manager activity.

    Useful in the audit of what has occurred and are auto stocks. This can help in the troubleshooting section.

    It appears if you select 'Tools' > 'the activity Manager.
    Thus, it is not something that suddenly arises every two minutes to annoy the user.
    The journal is deleted whenever you leave Thunderbird or you can clear the log manually.
    "Tools" > "activity Manager".
    Click on the button 'clear list '.

    This is an unusual request to stop the activity of logging as a background process and the only way to check what activity account has or has not occurred.

    I have searched and checked preferences to see if it could be turned off, but nothing helped.

  • If I block someone on iphone 6s, can they still leave a voicemail? If so, how will I know? Y at - it an icon?  Would I be able to listen to it?

    If I block someone on iphone 6s, can they still leave a voicemail? If so, how will I know? Y at - it an icon?  Would I be able to listen to it?

    When callers are blocked, they are sent directly to your voicemail. They can leave a message. You can still hear none of these messages by going to voicemail in the phone app and then type in blocked messages. They are separated from the other voice mail message so that don't accidentally read you them if you don't want to.

    Hello

    Yes, but why do you want to disable iTunes game? When you subscribe to Match iTunes, your library is analyzed to determine what can be matched or must be downloaded. When the scan is complete, your library will be updated automatically when you add new tracks or edit metadata.

  • All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work.

    Original title:. Nothing works.

    All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work. I can't install a fixit program or run anything at all.

    Safe mode?

    Looks like you have a virus/trojan/worm infection pretty good...

    Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility.  Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.

  • Can they even steal your identity if you do banking over the internet?

    So what happens if you left these remote access on your computer, but you do not use banking services online... can they even steal your identity?

    They may infected it with something that would do in the future.  Or any personal information that you have now available including e-mail and any accounts which has a password.  You should probably reformat and reinstall, but at least scan the computer for viruses, malware and unknown programs.  Then change all your passwords.  You can change your account names of e-mail as well as your phone number as well.

    Generally, no. They are necessary for the programs and programs don't
    work without them. But there may be a few exceptions with DLL files
    which are no longer used. If you try to delete everything, be extremely
    careful and delete are not only those that you are absolutely sure
    necessary.

    And I'm sorry to say - I don't want to be insulting - but if
    You must ask yourself what is a DLL file, you should not mess around with
    them and try to remove everything.
