While using the computer, notifications or alerts appear periodically in the form of pop-up windows with standard text. The subject of these notifications can be different events, from new messages to the appearance of a virus program on your computer.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to turn off these notifications, for example, that there are unused shortcuts on your desktop, make sure first that all shortcuts are really necessary. Then right-click on your desktop and select Properties from the drop-down menu. Going to the "Desktop" tab, click on the paragraph "Configuring the desktop". Look for suggestions for performing desktop cleaning every 2 months (60 days). Uncheck the box next to this item and click on "OK".
Step 2
If you want to turn off automatic notifications from the Security Center, check the type of operating system you are using. If your computer is running Windows XP or higher, use the capabilities of the "Control Panel" section. Click on the main menu "Start" and go through the "Control Panel" to the subsection "Security Center" or "Firewall" for Windows 7. In the window that opens, click on the paragraph "Change the method of notifications" and put a check next to the method of notification that you want for your purposes. If you have Windows 7 installed, click the "Change notification settings" section in the "Firewall" tab and uncheck the box for each type of network opposite the "Notify" item.
Step 3
When you need to turn off automatic notifications from Microsoft Outlook that a new message has arrived, for example, during a presentation, change the notification settings for your Inbox. To do this, go to the "Service" menu and click on the "Options" item, where select the "Settings" tab. Go to the active button "Mail settings" and "Advanced settings" to the list of groups. Look for the paragraph "When you receive a message" and uncheck the box next to the item "Display alerts".
