Can I Stop This?

I pinned another item to my start menu and now every time I click on the start menu a bubble comes up and says I cannot see every item on the recently used programs list. I know that! I don't care. I don't want to make the icons smaller. Is there any way to disable this stupid "reminder". I am running Windows XP Home Edition.

I don't want small icons. I want to stop the bubble.

I believe you can only do that by editing the registry or using tools like TweakUI. I can't tell you the registry settings from memory, so I'd suggest that you try TweakUI.

Thank you. I always forget I have TweakUI. It's a useful program. I found the setting and now I'm happy.
