After installing Windows XP Professional on a computer you'll encounter several annoying prompts that appear as balloons in the notification area of the taskbar. The first balloon prompts you take the Windows XP Tour. This balloon will return on subsequent logons until you've either taken the tour or dismissed the prompt at least three times.
The second balloon will prompt you to create an .NET Passport account. This balloon will return on a regular basis until you either create a .NET Passport account or dismiss the prompt at least 10 times.
If you don't want to take the Windows XP Tour nor want to create an .NET Passport account, you can instantly and permanently disable both of these nagging prompts right after you install Windows XP by running the XP Nag Disabler VBScript.
Join this ongoing discussion and let us know if you find the XP Nag Disabler VBScript useful and if there's anything we can do to improve the tool.
